do you already have the selected text retrieved? do you use something like ranges for that? ...
kind regards
-
function getSelectedText(){
-
var txt = '';
-
if (document.getSelection) txt = document.getSelection();
-
else if (document.selection) txt = document.selection.createRange().text;
-
-
return txt;
-
-
}
-
-
here is my code to get the selected text
i know it works
just the selected text is not replaced with ''
thank You

so the replace is not working? ... show function you use here. you have to retrieve the text ... replace it and reapply it with innerHTML for example ...
kind regards
yes the replace is not working
function where i try to replace selected text and then make it an unordered list is -
function makeUnorderedList(txt){
-
var tempText="";
-
var textToRemove="";
-
var splitResult = txt.split('\n');
-
var offer=document.getElementById("editor_displaying_text").innerHTML;
-
-
-
offer=offer.replace(txt,''); ,<---this doesnt work
-
-
-
-
-
for(i = 0; i < splitResult.length; i++){
-
tempText=splitResult[i];
-
tempText=tempText.replace(splitResult[i],'<li>'+splitResult[i]+'</li>');
-
textToRemove+=tempText;
-
offer+=tempText;
-
}
-
-
offer=offer.replace(textToRemove,'<ul>'+textToRemove+'</ul>');
-
document.getElementById("editor_displaying_text").innerHTML = offer;
-
}
-
the unordered list is created:) but the selected text from the div with id "editor_displaying_text" is not removed
thank You

hi ...
do you get an error-message? the following example with your code seems to work: -
function makeUnorderedList(txt) {
-
var tempText = "";
-
var textToRemove = "";
-
var splitResult = txt.split('\n');
-
var offer = 'test\nabcd\nabcd\nabcd\nabcd\nabcd\nabcd\ntest1\n';
-
-
offer = offer.replace(txt,'');
-
-
for(i = 0; i < splitResult.length; i++){
-
tempText = splitResult[i];
-
tempText = tempText.replace(splitResult[i], '<li>'+splitResult[i]+'</li>');
-
textToRemove += tempText;
-
offer += tempText;
-
}
-
-
offer = offer.replace(textToRemove,'<ul>'+textToRemove+'</ul>');
-
alert(offer);
-
}
-
-
makeUnorderedList('abcd\nabcd\nabcd\nabcd\nabcd\nabcd\n');
-
so the replace works as you have coded it.
kind regards
well it works when i test it the way You did
but it doesnt work when i type some text in the div, select it and then click my button which makes unordered list
the seleted text remains in a div and below that text unordered list is created
thank You

try to set the innerHTML of the div to an empty string befor setting the new text ...
kind regards
what i figured out is that the text typed into a div is surrounded. with <p> </p> tags
i removed it from the "offer" and now it works
thank You
