Paste and Modify Content Pasted In Textarea - Showing Twice

I am trying to replace the content that pastes in the Textarea, but facing a problem that it shows in the Textarea the original content and the "modified" content both. Hope you can help me.
HTML Code (just a simple textarea):
<textarea name="Notes_999" class="cssDetail" id="Notes_999" autocomplete="off"> </textarea>
The Jquery code:
$(".cssDetail").bind("paste", function(e){
// access the clipboard using the api
var elemID = $(this).attr("id");
console.log("elemID: " + elemID);
var t_string = "";
var pastedData = e.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('text');
console.log("pastedData " + pastedData );
var arrayOfLines = pastedData.split('\n');
$.each(arrayOfLines, function(index, item) {
var cnt_spaces = item.search(/\S|$/);
console.log("cnt_spaces: " + cnt_spaces + " - line: " + item);
item = item.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
if (cnt_spaces == 8) {
t_string += "- " + item + '\n';
} else {
t_string += item + '\n';
}
});
//console.log("elemID: " + elemID);
$("#"+elemID).text(''); // Try to clean before replace new content but not working.
$("#"+elemID).text(t_string);
});
The function above works fine and does what I expected. However, the result inside the Textarea has both the original and the "modified " one (t_string variable). I only want the "modified" one in the textarea, please help.
Thank you,

add additional fields while maintaining input content

I'm trying to make an input form with multiple fields and generate a preview of this content in a div. I would like the user to be able to add additional fields as they wish. I have the basic functionality working but anytime I "add" an additional field, the entered content of my previous fields are wiped out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've included the relevant code below.
function addInput(){
var inpts = document.getElementById("inputs");
var inputCounter = Number(document.getElementById("inputCounter").innerHTML);
var incCount = inputCounter+1;
var currentInfo = inpts.innerHTML;
var newField = "<textarea id=\"" + incCount + "\" rows=\"2\" onblur=\"updatePreview()\"></textarea> <div onclick=\"addInput()\" style=\"display: inline-block;\">+</div><br />";
inpts.innerHTML = currentInfo + newField;
document.getElementById("inputCounter").innerHTML = incCount;
}
The call to the function looks like this...
<div style="display: none;" id="inputCounter">1</div>
<div id='inputs'>
<textarea id='1' rows="2" onblur="updatePreview()"></textarea> <div onclick="addInput()" style="display: inline-block;">XX</div><br />
</div>

innerHTML returns the HTML structure but it excludes the value property of form elements (such as textarea).
Instead, you could create a new element to hold the additional field, then append that element to inputs:
function addInput(){
var inpts = document.getElementById("inputs"),
inputCounter = Number(document.getElementById("inputCounter").innerHTML),
incCount = inputCounter+1,
div = document.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML= "<textarea id=\"" + incCount + "\" rows=\"2\" onblur=\"updatePreview()\"></textarea> <div onclick=\"addInput()\" style=\"display: inline-block;\">+</div><br />";
inpts.appendChild(div);
document.getElementById("inputCounter").innerHTML = incCount;
} //addInput
Working Fiddle
An alternative to creating a new element is to use insertAdjacentHTML:
function addInput(){
var inpts = document.getElementById("inputs"),
inputCounter = Number(document.getElementById("inputCounter").innerHTML),
incCount = inputCounter+1;
inpts.insertAdjacentHTML(
'beforeend',
"<textarea id=\"" + incCount + "\" rows=\"2\" onblur=\"updatePreview()\"></textarea> <div onclick=\"addInput()\" style=\"display: inline-block;\">+</div><br />"
);
document.getElementById("inputCounter").innerHTML = incCount;
} //addInput

Input to populate textarea - Javascript

I am making a coupon code page and i am struck in one thing, Maybe its easy for javascript buddies.The problem is
All output links are in one line, I want each link in different text area and able to copy from textarea
HTML Markup
<p>Enter your email or User ID
<input type="text" name="foo" id="foosite" value="" />
</p>
send
<div id="url_value"></div>
Javscript Code
var a = document.getElementById('link')
a.onclick = function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var value = document.getElementById('foosite').value;
var route = "http://www.domain.com/route.php?email=" + value + ', ';
var data = "http://www.domain.com/data.php?email=" + value + ', ';
var form = "http://www.domain.com/form.php?email=" + value;
document.getElementById('url_value').innerHTML = route + data + form
}
From the above code, Its generate all links in one line and looks ugly, I need it to show in 3 different textareas.
Like this Html
<p>Link 1</p>
<textarea name="route"> Output Link</textarea>
<p>Link 2</p>
<textarea name="data"> Output Link</textarea>
<p>Link 3</p>
<textarea name="form"> Output Link</textarea>

The issue with your code is this line:
document.getElementById('url_value').innerHTML = route + data + form;
What you're doing is injecting the DOM with all your links as one single line with no spaces between them.
The solution is to make a view for the results, and then inject them into the DOM afterwards as shown here:
var a = document.getElementById('link')
a.onclick = function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var value = document.getElementById('foosite').value;
var routeLink = "http://www.domain.com/route.php?email=" + value + ', ';
var dataLink = "http://www.domain.com/data.php?email=" + value + ', ';
var formLink = "http://www.domain.com/form.php?email=" + value;
var routeView = '<p>Link 1</p><textarea name="route">'+routeLink+'</textarea>';
var dataView = '<p>Link 2</p><textarea name="data">'+dataLink+'</textarea>';
var formView = '<p>Link 3</p><textarea name="form">'+formLink+'</textarea>';
document.getElementById('url_value').innerHTML = routeView + dataView + formView;
}
UPDATE:
If the HTML already exists, add IDs to your textarea fields.
<p>Link 1</p>
<textarea id="routeValue" name="route"> Output Link</textarea>
<p>Link 2</p>
<textarea id="dataValue" name="data"> Output Link</textarea>
<p>Link 3</p>
<textarea id="formValue" name="form"> Output Link</textarea>
Replace your JS with this code:
var a = document.getElementById('link')
a.onclick = function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var value = document.getElementById('foosite').value;
var routeLink = "http://www.domain.com/route.php?email=" + value + ', ';
var dataLink = "http://www.domain.com/data.php?email=" + value + ', ';
var formLink = "http://www.domain.com/form.php?email=" + value;
document.getElementById('routeValue').innerHTML = routeLink;
document.getElementById('dataValue').innerHTML = dataLink;
document.getElementById('formValue').innerHTML = formLink;
}

jquery toggling elements for editing

Hi im trying to create an edit script in jquery that changes p content to input fields, and lets people edit them and then revert back to content.
my code:
<div class="addressblock">
<div class="data">
<p name="bedrijfsnaam">company name</p>
<p name="tav">to whom</p>
<p name="adres">street and number</p>
<p name="postcode">1234AB</p>
<p name="woonplaats">city</p>
<p name="land2" >Land</p>
</div>
Edit
</div>
Jquery =
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".editinv").click(function() {
var editid = $(this).attr("id");
var edit_or_text = $(this).attr("name");
if(edit_or_text == "edit"){
$(this).closest('div').find('p').each(function(){
var el_naam = $(this).attr("name");
var el_content = $(this).text();
$(this).replaceWith( "<input type='text' name='"+el_naam+"' id='" + el_id + "' value='"+el_content+"' />" );
});
$(".editinv").replaceWith( "<a href='#_' class='editinv' name='done' id='"+editid+"'>Done</a>" );
}
if(edit_or_text == "done"){
$(this).closest('div').find('input').each(function(){
var el_naam = $(this).attr("name");
var el_content = $(this).attr("value");
$(this).replaceWith( "<p name='"+el_naam+"' id='" + el_id + "'>'"+el_content+"' </p>" );
});
$(".editinv").replaceWith( "<a href='#_' class='editinv' name='edit' id='"+editid+"'>Bewerken</a>" );
}
});
});
When clicking on edit it changes perfectly to input fields and changes the edit button to a done button. A click on the done button is never registered though, while the class is the same.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I created a JSfiddle of the problem http://jsfiddle.net/hBJ5a/
ITs quite simple, why doesn't the element accept a second click and revert back after already being changed?

Note that if you change the name of all the <p> tags to the same name, and try to revert them back, there is no way that javascript will know which value should go where.
You should add an additional parameter to your <p> tags that will indicate the type.
e.g.
<p data-type="text" name="bedrijfsnaam">compname</p>
when changed will turn into:
<input type="text" name="bedrijfsnaam" data-type="edit" value="compname" />
when you click the button to change back, you should simply use the same function you are currently using to change the <p>'s into <input>'s, but then reverse the order.
e.g.
function inputToParagraph() {
var inputs = $('input[data-type="edit"]');
inputs.each(function() {
$(this).replaceWith('<p data-type="text" name="'+$(this).attr('name')+'">'+$(this).attr('value')+'</p>');
});
}
ofcourse you should have other actions linked to your submit, an ajax request probably to update the database as well.
NOTE
Not tested, but do know that the function above, if all the attr's are specified will work.
It will directly replace the inputs with P tags with given attributes.
You will have to make sure when you make the <p>'s into <input>'s, you will have to make sure the inputs get the correct attributes as well.

Div's content editor

I have this code:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#k123").click(function () {
//var text=$(this).val(); //this does not work
var text=$(this).text();
var k='<div id="k123"><textarea rows="10" cols="10">' + text + '</textarea><br /><input type="button" onclick="save();" value="save"><input type="button" onclick="cancel();" value="cancel"></div>';
$(this).replaceWith(k);
});
});
function save() {
}
function cancel() {
//alert(text);
var k='<div id="k123"></div>';
$("#k123").replaceWith(k);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="k123">aaaaa</div>
</body>
</html>
My question is :
1)In both functions : cancel & save , How can I get content of div id->#k123->textarea->content
functions cancel & save are outside the scope and they are independent functions I cannot tell $(this).parent().
I need to ask about div which has id #k123 , then get inside to textarea's content and get it.
and I have also to get id #k123 automatically because if I have many divs I cannot tell save & cancel manually the div's id, cancel & save should know the div's id sender from the input type='button'`s parent id.
**please I do not prefer the suggestion of sending div id from input button
**We are assuming that both input buttons have no IDS or Names
I tried another way but still having same problem
I replaced
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#k123").click(function () {
var text=$(this).text();
var k='<div id="k123"><textarea rows="10" cols="10">' + text + '</textarea><br /><input type="button" value="save"><input type="button" value="cancel"></div>';
$(this).replaceWith(k);
});
//$("#k123 > input").click(function() {
$("#k123").children("input:second").click(function() {
alert("hi");
});
});
thank you.

I have the working code for you below. You don't even need an id.. just a container div and delegation of events. The below accomplishes what I thought you were after, in what I believe to be a much simpler, and much more efficient fashion:
(I've added comments to assist in understanding the code)
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".container").on('click', function(e) {
if (!$(e.target).is('input') && !$(e.target).is('textarea')) { //check to make sure the target is neither an input or a textarea
var div_text = $(e.target).text(); // use a variable named something other than text, because text is already a method for another element
$(e.target).data('text',div_text); // set the div's current contents as a hidden data attribute, to be retrieved later. You can get rid of this and the other line if you want cancel to completely wipe the div.
var k = '<textarea rows="10" cols="10">' + div_text + '</textarea><br /><input type="button" value="save"><input type="button" value="cancel">';
$(e.target).html(k); //set the inner HTML of the div, so we don't lose any data saved to that div
}
if ($(e.target).is('input') && $(e.target).val() == 'save') {
$(e.target).parent().html($(e.target).parent().find('textarea').val()); // replace the current contents of the parent div with the contents of the textarea within it.
} else if ($(e.target).is('input') && $(e.target).val() == 'cancel') {
$(e.target).parent().html($(e.target).parent().data('text')); //set the contents to the old contents, as stored in the data attribute. Just replace the contents of the .html() here with '' to completely clear it.
}
});
});​
