Just wondering if it is possible to programatically highlight all the text within a textbox.
Specifically, I have a text box with validation. If an error is thrown, I set the focus to the specified textbox, but the way it works now the user starts typing and none of the text that already exists disappears. I'm wondering if I can make it so that if the error is thrown, not only is the focus set to the textbox, but the text within the textbox is selected, so that if they simply start typing all of the old text disappears, or they can click and retype a single character if necessary.
I have an ASP.NET 2.0 webapp (with C#). I wanted to add a button which, when clicked would highlight selected text. By 'highlight', I mean change the CSS properties of the text so that it can stand out. I think this can be done with some clientside JavaScript.I know that you can assign a Javascript function to the onclick event of an HTML input button, but since I'm not very proficient at JS the function itself I have no idea how to write
I'm pretty sure this is in the wrong forum category, but I couldn't find a relevant category, so here goes!'m looking for a way of highlighting text changes between two sets of content, very similar to how this website's wiki works:For example, if I go to an edit page on the wiki, I can compare two versions and see the difference:[URL]
textbox1 = "Hello bob, How are you" textbox2 = "Hello cad, how are you"
I have looped through each text box and know that the area I want to highlight on textBox 2 is between the charaters 7 and 9. How do I highlight only these characters as Bold and with a yellow background?
I m retrieving a text from SQL DB based on the Search criteria i give and displaying in the Textbox in asp.net. I need to highlight the words given in the search criteria in the displayed text.
For example : If i give "need" all the word "need" in textbox that is retrieved and displayed should be highlight in yellow color.
I have one gridview in mvc application in evry row gridview anchor tag then Url open in Iframe. anf if i want to search any specific word in Iframe i can write searchtext in textbox . and when i click on anchor tag then that specific text should me highlight in Iframe. following is is my Jquery. its working but Iframe is refresh only once. not next time so.. how can i do..
i wanted to know how i could go about selecting all the values of the textbox in one click, and then auto copying it.
So basically, the textbox is a read only, and has text inside, but when the user clicks the textbox, it will highlight the text in the textbox, and autocopy it.
I'm adding hotkeys to a web application in order to enable keyboard shortcuts for our CSRs to use, to reduce injury and increase calls-per-hour. I'm using an ASP.net UserControl to inject javascript into the page and it's working great. I want the control to "just work", so that when hotkeys are assigned, using a declarative syntax, if the hotkeyed letter exists in the link text, it will be highlighted automatically, so the developer doesn't have to do anything, and also to maintain consistency in visual cues. Here's the code to assign hotkeys, if it matters:
<a href="whatever" name="thirdControl">Make a <span class=hotkey">P</span>ayment</a>
but I'm not married to the idea of injecting a <span/> in there if there's a better way. How can I do this in CSS or JQuery? Is there a way to pass in a letter to a CSS style and have it change the color of the text displayed? Should I generate javascript to highlight the text when the page loads? What would/did you do in this situation?
This works fine, but I would now also like to select the data in the textbox so the user does not have to select the text before typing, they can just type straight away. I have been trying to use:
i have in my asp.net page a textarea where users type an article="long text" to be saved in the database. In another page i display these articles(textarea) in a :
<p class="p-article"> the text of the article goes here. </p>
I'd like to filter these articles by search keywords .for example when a user search for "Startup Marketing".
I want to apply the keywords as a filter and get articles and bring those that contain "Startup" or "Marketing" or "Startup Marketinbg".And this in client side by jquery if possible.
I have a text box in a gridview that is causing some problems with user input. The first time the user opens the page the gridview is populated with zero's in all rows textboxes. I set the focus to the first textbox in the Page_Load event but the cursor is placed to the left of the zero and when some users enter data they don't realize the zero doesn't go away so the first row ends up wrong. Once the tab or enter key is hit and the next row is selected, the zero is "selected", for lack of a better term like when the insert key is predded, and once the user starts typing only the new value remains. Is there a way to make the zero in the first row "selected" ?
I´m currently programming a web search application in ASP.Net and having problem with full text searching. My requirements are:

I have an ASP.net gridview on a webform where user's can select a row. When they select it, the row is highlighted yellow. The problem is that when I sort the table, it sorts properly but the highlight stays on the same line. The data all moves, but the highlight stays put.
I have the following code which sets the focus of the textbox, but I now also want th text in the textbox to be highlighted, but without the use of JavaScript. I have tried using JavaScript but cannot get it too work, is there any other way to do it?
Protected Sub GridView1_RowEditing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowEditing GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex BindData() GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).FindControl("txtTargetAmount").Focus()

Currently we are saving files (PDF, DOC) into the database as BLOB fields. I would like to be able to retrieve the raw text of the file to be able to manipulate it for hit-highlighting and other functions.Does anyone know of a simple way to either parse out the files and save the raw text on save, either via SQL or .net code. I have found that Adobe has a filtdump utility that will convert the PDF to text. Filtdump seems to be a command line tool, and i don't see a way to use a file stream. And what would the extractor be for Office documents and other file types?-or-Is there a way to pull out the raw text from the SQL Full text index, without using 3rd party filters?Note i am trying to build a .net & MSSql solution without having to use a third party tool such as Lucene
I am moving an app from Silverlight back to ASP.NET. (Don't ask!) I really liked the ability to highlight ListBox items as the user moved the mouse over the items. I have been Bing'ing all morning and cannot seem to find any way to do this in ASP.NET with an ASP:ListBox. I tried setting the onmouseover event for the list items themselves. But that did nothing.
[Code]....
I then tried setting onmouseover event for the list itself. I can get the event, but I don't know how to determine which item I am over. I only seem to have the selectedIndex. If I am just moving the mouse, I have no selectedIndex.
I'm trying to highlight the content of a textbox when it gets focus. I make a selection from a dropdown and the focus is moved to the texbox, I would like the current content of the texbox to be highlighted. How is this done?
