Change word color in input or textarea

For a chat app, I need to change the color of words starting with a special character, #word inside an input tag, i.e:
Hello #John how are you?
the part #John should change color inside the input, i.e:
Hello #John how are you?
It works after it's posted, but that's obviously another code. I want it to highlight words (#mention) by changing its color right in the input or textarea Element.

Color specific text inside a textarea-alike element
One 5y old idea (Highlight syntax in contenteditable) would be to:
let the user type into a contenteditable DIV with transparent color but visible caret, then get and modify the content on the fly as-you-ype to an underlying DIV, used as a markup highlighter.
Basically:
On "input" event get the editable innerHTML, do some String.prototype.replace() with a regular expression that matches #mentions on the contenteditable value and replace i.e: #John with <span class="mention">#John</span>
Write the result as HTML to the underlying (highlighter) DIV element.
This way you're not replacing and creating any child SPAN elements in the area where the user is typing, but actually on the underlying one.
const colorMention = (elText, elPre) => {
elPre.innerHTML = elText.innerHTML.replace(/(?<=^| )#\p{L}+/gu, "<span class='mention'>$&</span>");
};
const scrollMirror = (elText, elPre) => {
elPre.scrollTo(elText.scrollLeft, elText.scrollTop);
};
const handleKey = (ev, elText, elPre) => {
if (ev.key === "Enter" && !ev.shiftKey) {
// prevent Enter key behavior (new-line)
ev.preventDefault();
// Check message to send...
const message = elText.innerHTML;
if (!message.trim()) {
return; // Nothing to submit. Message is empty
}
// YOUR SUBMIT LOGIC GOES HERE:
console.log(message);
// Clear fields:
elText.innerHTML = "";
elPre.innerHTML = "";
} else {
// Any other key: (scroll areas is necessary)
scrollMirror(elText, elPre);
}
};
document.querySelectorAll(".message").forEach(el => {
const elText = el.querySelector(".text");
const elPre = el.querySelector(".pre");
elText.addEventListener("scroll", () => scrollMirror(elText, elPre));
elText.addEventListener("keyup", () => scrollMirror(elText, elPre));
elText.addEventListener("input", () => colorMention(elText, elPre));
elText.addEventListener("keydown", (ev) => handleKey(ev, elText, elPre));
// Init:
colorMention(elText, elPre);
scrollMirror(elText, elPre);
});

Regarding the regular expression for matching mentions:

here's a Regex101.com example with description, and a related answer.

How can I get and set style properties of an object that come from a class?

I have a simple animation function that simulates a button being pushed, by varying the width:
function bPress(b) {
var w = (parseFloat(b.style.width)*0.96);
if (b.style.width.substr(-1)=="%") {
var s ="%";
}
else {
var s = "em";
}
b.style.width = w +s;
b.onmouseup = function () {
w = (parseFloat(b.style.width)/0.96);
b.style.width = w+s;
// etc.
}
This was working well until I started cleaning up my code and changed inline CSS style declarations to classes. I previously had, for example:
<div style= 'height: 1.5em; width: 100%; margin: 0 auto; margin-top: 0.2em; font: inherit; font-weight:bold' onclick='checkSave("continue")' onmousedown='bPress(this)'>Continue</div>
I moved the CSS parts to a new class:
.response_button {
height: 1.5em;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 0.2em;
font: inherit;
font-weight:bold
}
... avoiding repetition and of course simplifying the div tags.
But the animations stopped working. After some experimenting, I eventually came up with a temporary solution by moving the width back into an inline style declaration. But this seems wrong.
So 2 questions:
Why does this.style.width not work if the width is declared inside a class?
Is there a way to get and set a div's properties if they are declared inside a class?
Edit: For completeness, using nick zoum's answer, here is the modified bPress function:
function bPress(b) {
var w_px = window.getComputedStyle(b).width;
var w_int = (parseInt(w_px));
b.style.width = Math.round(w_int * 0.96) + "px";
b.onmouseup = function () {
b.style.width = w_px;
}
}

You can use getComputedStyle to get all of the calculated style properties of an element.
var dom = document.querySelector("#foo");
console.log(getComputedStyle(dom).backgroundColor);
#foo {
background-color: red;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
}
<div id="foo"></div>

Making a dragbar to resize divs inside CSS grids

I have 2 boxes and a vertical div line in one unique container div (code and fiddle below).
I'm using CSS grids to position my elements inside the container
What I'd like to accomplish is to use the vertical line to resize horizontally the two boxes based on the position of the vertical line.
I apologize if the question is noobish, I am new to web development, only used Python before, already tried to google and stackoverflow search but all solutions seem overly complicated and generally require additional libraries, I was looking for something simpler and JS only.
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="box a">A</div>
<div class="handler"></div>
<div class="box b">B</div>
</div>
CSS:
body {
margin: 40px;
}
.wrapper {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 200px 8px 200px;
grid-gap: 10px;
background-color: #fff;
color: #444;
}
.box {
background-color: #444;
color: #fff;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 20px;
font-size: 150%;
resize: both;
}
.handler{
width: 3px;
height: 100%;
padding: 0px 0;
top: 0;
background: red;
draggable: true;
}

What you intend to do can be done using CSS flexbox—there is no need to use CSS grid. The bad news is that HTML + CSS is not so smart that declaring resize and draggable will make the layout flexible and adjustable by user interaction. For that, you will have to use JS. The good news is that this is actually not too complicated.
Here is a quick screen grab of output the code below:
However, for you to understand the code I will post below, you will have to familiarize yourself with:
Event binding using .addEventListener. In this case, we will use a combination of mousedown, mouseup and mousemove to determine whether the user is in the middle of dragging the element
CSS flexbox layout
Description of the solution
Initial layout using CSS
Firstly, you will want to layout your boxes using CSS flexbox. We simply declare display: flex on the parent, and then use flex: 1 1 auto (which translates to "let the element grow, let the element shrink, and have equal widths). This layout is only valid at the initial rendering of the page:
.wrapper {
/* Use flexbox */
display: flex;
}
.box {
/* Use box-sizing so that element's outerwidth will match width property */
box-sizing: border-box;
/* Allow box to grow and shrink, and ensure they are all equally sized */
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
Listen to drag interaction
You want to listen to mouse events that might have originated from your .handler element, and you want a global flag that remembers whether the user is dragging or not:
var handler = document.querySelector('.handler');
var isHandlerDragging = false;
Then you can use the following logic to check if the user is dragging or not:
document.addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
// If mousedown event is fired from .handler, toggle flag to true
if (e.target === handler) {
isHandlerDragging = true;
}
});
document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
// Don't do anything if dragging flag is false
if (!isHandlerDragging) {
return false;
}
// Set boxA width properly
// [...more logic here...]
});
document.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e) {
// Turn off dragging flag when user mouse is up
isHandlerDragging = false;
});
Computing the width of box A
All you are left with now is to compute the width of box A (to be inserted in the [...more logic here...] placeholder in the code above), so that it matches that of the movement of the mouse. Flexbox will ensure that box B will fill up the remaining space:
// Get offset
var containerOffsetLeft = wrapper.offsetLeft;
// Get x-coordinate of pointer relative to container
var pointerRelativeXpos = e.clientX - containerOffsetLeft;
// Resize box A
// * 8px is the left/right spacing between .handler and its inner pseudo-element
// * Set flex-grow to 0 to prevent it from growing
boxA.style.width = (pointerRelativeXpos - 8) + 'px';
boxA.style.flexGrow = 0;
Working example
var handler = document.querySelector('.handler');
var wrapper = handler.closest('.wrapper');
var boxA = wrapper.querySelector('.box');
var isHandlerDragging = false;
document.addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
// If mousedown event is fired from .handler, toggle flag to true
if (e.target === handler) {
isHandlerDragging = true;
}
});
document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
// Don't do anything if dragging flag is false
if (!isHandlerDragging) {
return false;
}
// Get offset
var containerOffsetLeft = wrapper.offsetLeft;
// Get x-coordinate of pointer relative to container
var pointerRelativeXpos = e.clientX - containerOffsetLeft;
// Arbitrary minimum width set on box A, otherwise its inner content will collapse to width of 0
var boxAminWidth = 60;
// Resize box A
// * 8px is the left/right spacing between .handler and its inner pseudo-element
// * Set flex-grow to 0 to prevent it from growing
boxA.style.width = (Math.max(boxAminWidth, pointerRelativeXpos - 8)) + 'px';
boxA.style.flexGrow = 0;
});
document.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e) {
// Turn off dragging flag when user mouse is up
isHandlerDragging = false;
});
body {
margin: 40px;
}
.wrapper {
background-color: #fff;
color: #444;
/* Use flexbox */
display: flex;
}
.box {
background-color: #444;
color: #fff;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 20px;
font-size: 150%;
/* Use box-sizing so that element's outerwidth will match width property */
box-sizing: border-box;
/* Allow box to grow and shrink, and ensure they are all equally sized */
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
.handler {
width: 20px;
padding: 0;
cursor: ew-resize;
flex: 0 0 auto;
}
.handler::before {
content: '';
display: block;
width: 4px;
height: 100%;
background: red;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="box">A</div>
<div class="handler"></div>
<div class="box">B</div>
</div>

Here's an example of the drag event handling, but using CSS Grids
The trick is to set the grid-template-columns (or rows) on the grid container rather than than the size of the grid items
let isLeftDragging = false;
let isRightDragging = false;
function ResetColumnSizes() {
// when page resizes return to default col sizes
let page = document.getElementById("pageFrame");
page.style.gridTemplateColumns = "2fr 6px 6fr 6px 2fr";
}
function SetCursor(cursor) {
let page = document.getElementById("page");
page.style.cursor = cursor;
}
function StartLeftDrag() {
// console.log("mouse down");
isLeftDragging = true;
SetCursor("ew-resize");
}
function StartRightDrag() {
// console.log("mouse down");
isRightDragging = true;
SetCursor("ew-resize");
}
function EndDrag() {
// console.log("mouse up");
isLeftDragging = false;
isRightDragging = false;
SetCursor("auto");
}
function OnDrag(event) {
if (isLeftDragging || isRightDragging) {
// console.log("Dragging");
//console.log(event);
let page = document.getElementById("page");
let leftcol = document.getElementById("leftcol");
let rightcol = document.getElementById("rightcol");
let leftColWidth = isLeftDragging ? event.clientX : leftcol.clientWidth;
let rightColWidth = isRightDragging ? page.clientWidth - event.clientX : rightcol.clientWidth;
let dragbarWidth = 6;
let cols = [
leftColWidth,
dragbarWidth,
page.clientWidth - (2 * dragbarWidth) - leftColWidth - rightColWidth,
dragbarWidth,
rightColWidth
];
let newColDefn = cols.map(c => c.toString() + "px").join(" ");
// console.log(newColDefn);
page.style.gridTemplateColumns = newColDefn;
event.preventDefault()
}
}

To actually match the question! Making a dragbar to resize divs inside CSS grids.
Here is a possible way, the original OP layout is kept, as well as the CSS, using Grids.
The goal is to capture the original state of the Grid Template Columns, and convert it to floats.
The browser always compute in pixels, and the sum of those columns + the gap, represent the total width of the container element. That sum must always be the same, or the elements will jump!
NB: Calls to .getComputedStyle() are not very efficient, optimisation is likely possible here!
Notice, doing this way using grids and screenX avoid the common jumping bug on mouse down.
Comments are added, this will allow to apply the logic with any number of columns, or rows, good luck.
With the usage of pointer events, it does works from a touch device as well.
let target = document.querySelector("div") // Target container element
let md = false; // Will be true at mouse down
let xorigin; // Click origin X position
let gtcorigin = []; // Origin Grid Template Columns in pixels
const pointerdown = (e) => {
if (e.target.classList[0] === "handler"){ // Filter to target the wanted element
md = true; // Set mouse down
xorigin = e.screenX; // Store the origin X position
// Grid Template Columns, array of pixels as float
gtcorigin = window.getComputedStyle(target)["grid-template-columns"].split(" ").map((a) => +(a.slice(0, -2)));
document.body.style.cursor = "col-resize" // This makes things nice
document.body.style.userSelect = "none" // This makes things nice
}
}
const pointerup = (e) => {
md = false; // Reset bool at mouse up
document.body.style.cursor = "pointer"
document.body.style.userSelect = "unset"
}
const resizer = (e) => {
if (md){ // Mouse is down hover the handler element
let gtc = window.getComputedStyle(target)["grid-template-columns"].split(" ").map((a) => +(a.slice(0, -2))); // Grid Template Columns, array of pixels as float
let xdragdif = xorigin - e.screenX; // Move in pixels since the click
gtc[0] = gtcorigin[0] - xdragdif // First column, if negative, it will grow
gtc[2] = gtcorigin[2] + xdragdif // Third column
gtc = gtc.map((a) => a+"px") // Set back the values in string with "px"
document.querySelector("console").textContent = gtc.join(" ") // !!! This is only for the demo
target.style.gridTemplateColumns = gtc.join(" ") // Apply the new Grid Template Column as inline style.
}
}
// Attach all events on the largest container element. Here the body is used.
document.body.addEventListener("pointerdown", pointerdown, false)
document.body.addEventListener("pointerup", pointerup, false)
document.body.addEventListener("pointermove", resizer, false)
body {
margin: 40px;
overflow-x: hidden

No limits are applied here, this can be enhanced with CSS only, using min-width and other similar rules, and the float values can be retrieved to create range sliders and more, this way.

How to make this tooltip like this with pure javascript

I need to use JS no JQuery plugins to make a simple tooltip like on the image below.
Click on ? image should open this tooltip and click again on the same image to close it.
I think that it's simple for someone with good JS knowledge but I can't do it anyway :(
This is something that I have tried I know it's not too much but I am simply stuck.
How to display it like on the image, how to hide it when it's open and how to add that little triangle in the corner?
myfiddle
<img id="info" src="http://www.craiglotter.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/craig_question_mark_icon1.png"/>
<div id="ttip">bla bla</div>
document.getElementById('info').addEventListener('click', function(){
// how to check if it's visible so I can close tooltip
document.getElementById('ttip').style.display="block";
});
#info{margin-left:100px;margin-top:50px;}
#ttip
{
width: 280px;
z-index: 15001;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
display: none;
border-color: #666;
background-color: #fff;
color: #666;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid #666;
padding: 15px 9px 5px 9px;
text-align: left;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}

Clean up the css and this will basically do it:
<script>
function doTip(e){
var elem = e.toElement;
if(elem.getAttribute('data-tip-on') === 'false') {
elem.setAttribute('data-tip-on', 'true');
var rect = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
var tipId = Math.random().toString(36).substring(7);
elem.setAttribute('data-tip-id', tipId);
var tip = document.createElement("div");
tip.setAttribute('id', tipId);
tip.innerHTML = elem.getAttribute('data-tip');
tip.style.top = rect.bottom+ 10 + 'px';

Edit: fixed formatting and a bug. jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/u93a3/

Proof of concept:
The following markup in HTML: Create a div with class tooltip, add image and a div with class info with all text (can be multiple paragraphs if needed, scollbars is shown if necessary):
<div class='tooltip'>
<img src='craig_question_mark_icon1.png' alt='Help'/>
<div class='info'>
Some text to fill the box with.
</div>
</div>
The div.info is set to display:none in CSS.
When the page is loaded a pure javascript is running that draws an image of a triangle on a canvas-element, and then creates a div-element where the triangle is set as a background. Then, for every div.tooltip:
add a click-eventhandler to the image
replace the div.info with a div.info_container
add a clone of the triangle-div to div.info_container
add the original div.info to div.info_container
You can test it with this fiddle. It is tested successfully on FF25, Chrome31, IE10, Opera 12&18.

Applying background color based on scrolling content

Here is my JsFiddle
I want to apply background-color change property to circle when the window slides. Like in the beginning only first circle will have background-color. and when the images slides to second screen the second circle will have only color.
Can anybody guide me how to achieve that.
JQuery:
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function () {
var A = $('.gallery').scrollLeft();
if (A < 993) {
$('.gallery').animate({
scrollLeft: '+=331px'
}, 300);
}
if (A >= 993) {
$('.gallery').delay(400).animate({
scrollLeft: 0
}, 300);
}
}, 3000);
});

Here's a simple solution of your problem: http://jsfiddle.net/pjvCw/44/ but....
The way you're doing galleries is quite wrong.
You have a really sensitive CSS full of margin bugs (see in CSS code),
you calculate all by hand, which will just complicate your life one day if you'll get to add images, change widths etc...
Your buttons are positioned really wrongly, and again you don't even need to manually add them in your HTML. Let jQuery do all the job for you:
Calculate margins, widths,
Get the number of slides
generate buttons,
Make your buttons clickable
Pause gallery on mouseenter (loop again on mouseleave)
LIVE DEMO
This is the way you should go with your slider:
HTML:
<div class="galleryContainer"> <!-- Note this main 'wrapper' -->
<div class="gallery">
<div class="row">
<!-- ..your images.. -->
</div>
<div class="row">
<!-- ..your images.. -->
</div>
</div>
<div class="content-nav-control"></div> <!-- Let jQ create the buttons -->
</div>
Note the general gallery wrapper, it allows you with this CSS to make your buttons parent not move with the gallery.
CSS:
In your code, using display:inline-block; adds 4px margin to your elements, ruining your math. So you just need to apply font-size:0; to remove that inconvenience.
As soon I did that the math was working and the right width was than 340px, having 5px border for your images and 20px margin.
.galleryContainer{
/* you need that one
// to prevent the navigation move */
position:relative; /* cause .content-nav-control is absolute */
background-color: #abcdef;
width:340px; /* (instead of 350) now the math will work */
height: 265px;
}
.gallery{
position:relative;
overflow: hidden; /* "overflow" is enough */
width:340px; /* (instead of 350) now the math will work */
height: 265px;
}
.gallery .row {
white-space: nowrap;
font-size:0; /* prevent inline-block 4px margin issue */
}
.gallery img {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.normalimage {
height: 80px;
width: 50px;
border: 5px solid black;
}
.wideimage {
height: 80px;
width: 130px;
border: 5px solid black;
}
img:last-of-type {
margin-right:20px;
}
.content-nav-control {
position: absolute;
width:100%; /* cause it's absolute */
bottom:10px;
text-align:center; /* cause of inline-block buttons inside*/
font-size:0; /* same trick as above */
}
.content-nav-control > span {
cursor:pointer;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 50%;
border:1px solid #000;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.75);
margin: 0 2px; /* BOTH MARGINS LEFT AND RIGHT */
}
.content-nav-control > span.active{
background:blue;
}
And finally:
$(function () { // DOM ready shorty
var $gal = $('.gallery'),
$nav = $('.content-nav-control'),
galSW = $gal[0].scrollWidth, // scrollable width
imgM = parseInt($gal.find('img').css('marginLeft'), 10), // 20px
galW = $gal.width() - imgM, // - one Margin
n = Math.round(galSW/galW), // n of slides
c = 0, // counter
galIntv; // the interval
for(var i=0; i<n; i++){
$nav.append('<span />'); // Create circles
}
var $btn = $nav.find('span');
$btn.eq(c).addClass('active');
function anim(){
$btn.removeClass('active').eq(c).addClass('active');
$gal.stop().animate({scrollLeft: galW*c }, 400);
}
function loop(){
galIntv = setInterval(function(){
c = ++c%n;
anim();
}, 3000);
}
loop(); // first start kick
// MAKE BUTTONS CLICKABLE
$nav.on('click', 'span', function(){
c = $(this).index();
anim();
});
// PAUSE ON GALLERY MOUSEENTER
$gal.parent('.galleryContainer').hover(function( e ){
return e.type=='mouseenter' ? clearInterval(galIntv) : loop() ;
});
});
"- With this solution, What can I do now and in the future? -"
Nothing! just freely add images into your HTML and play, and never again have to take a look at your backyard :)

Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/yerdW/1/
I added a line that gets the scrollLeft and divides it by your width (331px) to get the position and use that to select the 'active' circle:
$(".circle").removeClass("coloured");
position = Math.ceil($(".gallery").scrollLeft()/331 + 2);
if(position > $(".circle").length){
position = 1; // yes...
}
$(".content-nav-control div:nth-child("+position+")").addClass("coloured");
Red background for active circle:
.coloured {
background : red;
}
Note that you should initialise with the first circle already having the .coloured class applied.

Here you go: http://jsfiddle.net/pjvCw/41/
i added new class
.selected
{
background-color: red;
}
and modified some js code

Here is your jsfiddle edited http://jsfiddle.net/pjvCw/45/
var scrolled = 0;
var circles = $(".circle");
var colorCircle = function(index) {
for(var i=0; i<circles.length; i++) {
if(i == index) {
circles.eq(i).css("background-color", "rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)");
} else {
circles.eq(i).css("background-color", "rgba(255, 0, 0, 0)");
}
}
}
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function () {
var A = $('.gallery').scrollLeft();
if (A < 993) {
$('.gallery').animate({
scrollLeft: '+=331px'
}, 300);
colorCircle(++scrolled);
}
if (A >= 993) {
$('.gallery').delay(400).animate({
scrollLeft: 0
}, 300);
colorCircle(scrolled = 0);
}
}, 3000);
colorCircle(0);
});
I added a transition to the .circle class, so it looks a little bit better:
.circle {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 50%;
border:1px solid #000;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.75);
margin-right: 5px;
transition: background-color 700ms;
-webkit-transition: background-color 700ms;
}
