to replace characters into an imput

jomla · Aug 25, 2010

Hi at all

having an imput text like:

<input type="text" name="text1" id="text1" size=40 />

I want to unsert into this field some characters from js at cursor position
or replacing a lot (one or more) selected characters.

I tryed a js like:

function insert(id,str)

{

var range;

if(document.all)

{

var cDoc= document.getElementById(id);

range=cDoc.selection.createRange();

range.text=str;

} else if (window.getSelection)

cWin = document.getElementById(id);

userSelection = cWin.getSelection();

userSelection=str;

cWin.document.execCommand('insertHTML',false,userSelection);

}

}

id parameter is <input id>

str is character to insert

This js work with a <textarea> but not into a <input>

Thanks for any answer

Here's a little mock up example for you...

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>

<script>
function test(){
var str = "Insert this text";
document.getElementById('text1').value=str;
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<input type="text" name="text1" id="text1" size=40 />

<a href="javascript: test()">TEST</a>

</body>
</html>
