Change the title of a page while typing - javascript

As an exercise for myself I'm trying to make a blog posting application using JavasScript, JQuery and PHP. What I want to happen is that, when you're typing, the title of the page changes. With this, I mean the title declared within the <title></title> tags. A good example of this is StackOverflow: when you're asking a new question, you type in the title of that post, and the page title (the one declared inside the <head>) changes to the title you are typing.
How is this effect done? Is it possible using only JavaScript/JQuery or do you need AJAX for it?

You can just change the title with JS:
document.title = 'New title';
About the effect you are looking for you can probably do something in the lines of:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input").keyup(function() {
var text = $(this).val();
document.title = text;
});
});

I'm not sure but I think you want to change the page title to whatever is typed in a input tag, For example
something like this?
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#myInput').keyup(function () {
$(document).attr('title', $('#myInput').val());
});
});
the above will track the changes of key up (on keyboard) and get the value of the text input and set it as page title :
here a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZLPfM/show

To change the page title, you can do one of two things:
//plain javascript
document.title = 'My JavaScript title!';
//jQuery
$(document).attr('title', 'My jQuery Title');
In order to change it while typing, hook up an keyup event:
$(document).keyup(function(e)
{
//Check the keycode using e.keyCode
});
This will bind it to the document, which means anytime a key is pressed, within an input or otherwise, your event will fire. You could also bind it to a textbox so that it will only fire when you type within the input (which is probably what you want to do).
If you bind to the document, like shown above, you'll have to check the keyCode and append the value onto your title. If you bind to an input, you can grab the input value and set the title to the new value:
$('#myinput').keyup(function(e)
{
var text = $(this).val();
document.title = text;
});

Event handler keypress loading at beginning of page instead of on input

I have an HTML input box and want to use jQuery to get the value of user input as it is entered, however the DOM seems to be activated upon page load and it never takes the value of the input box as the user types it in. I'm new to this and can't figure out what I'm doing incorrectly, any ideas would be appreciated!
<input id="textFilter" type="text">
function addEventHandlerForSearch() { //Javascript Handler
$('#textFilter').val();
$('#searchText').text($('#textFilter').val());
let searchVal = $('#searchText').text();
$(document).ready(function() { // DOM
$('#textFilter').keypress(addEventHandlerForSearch());
loadSavedRunkeeperTweets().then(parseTweets);
});
Simple vanilla implementation to get the value of the text box as it is typed would be:
const input = document.getElementById('textFilter');
input.onkeyup = () => {
console.log(input.value)
}
Then you could do whatever you need to with that data. If jquery is a requirement, I apologize for not including that in my answer. Not my area of expertise lol.

Populate a div from TinyMCE content dynamically

I'm trying to get the contents from a TinyMCE textarea to populate a button/div as I type. This is to show the client how the button/div will look like when it goes live. Everything else works dynamically, such as the button/div colour, the title and dropdown.
The issue lies with dynamically retrieving the contents from TinyMCE. If I use a standard textarea box it works fine. I want the client to be able to use some of the basic features of TinyMCE.
Kind of how this form field is working. As I'm typing in this box, I can see my text updating below.
My JS is:
$(document).on('change', '#ParentID', function() {
var NTxt = $('#ParentID option:selected').text();
var NVal = document.getElementById("ParentID").value;
NTxt = NTxt.replace(/ # /g,"<br/>");
if(NVal != "0"){
if(NTxt.value != null || NTxt.value != "0" || NTxt.value != undefined){
$("#LTxt").html(NTxt);
}
}else{
$("#LTxt").html('External Link Text/Quote Text');
}
});
$(document).on('keyup', '#Opt2', function() {
$('#LTxt').text($(this).val());
});
Here are some screen grabs:
1. Normal State:
2. Populated title and dropdown "internal link" text:
3. Textarea, populating same place (WITHOUT TINYMCE):
Anyone know how I can do this with TinyMCE? I've tried...
tinymce.get('content id').getContent()
...but it didn't seem to populate dynamically.
This is the key question: How to pass anything typed into the TinyMCE textarea into the button, at the bottom, as the user is typing?
Many thanks in advance,
Glynn
You need to use a variety of events that TinyMCE triggers to know when its content has changed. You can then grab the content from the editor and do whatever you need with it.
Here is an example that shows the actual raw HTML in a neighboring DIV. It can easily be adapted to insert the HTML into an elements so its actually rendered to the page.
http://fiddle.tinymce.com/Gegaab/5
The list of available events is documented here: https://www.tinymce.com/docs/advanced/events/#editorevents
The example uses the keydown and change events in particular but there are many to choose from if those don't fit your needs.

CodeMirror on change failing

I am creating two code mirror instances from text areas in my form, and I need those hidden text areas to be updated before submission. I have added on on change event to the script but it doesn't seem to work.
can anyone help?
Thanks
<script type="text/javascript">
function editor(id) {
var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(id, {
continuousScanning: 500,
lineNumbers: true
});
editor.setSize(900, 600);
}
var config_id = document.getElementById('id_config')
var config = editor(config_id);
var remote_config_id = document.getElementById('id_remote_config')
var remote_config = editor(remote_config_id);
config.on('change',function(cMirror){
// get value right from instance
config_id.value = cMirror.getValue();
});
remote_config.on('change',function(cMirror){
// get value right from instance
remote_config_id.value = cMirror.getValue();
});
</script>
You can't use the change event for that: CodeMirror listens to changes of the hidden text area, so changing the value would fire another change event. That could cause endless loops.
The documentation contains the correct approach:
the library provides a much more powerful shortcut:
var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(myTextArea);
This will, among other things, ensure that the textarea's value is updated with the editor's contents when the form (if it is part of a form) is submitted.
That means you have a bug in the code which you didn't show above. Maybe you're using a weird way to submit the form, so CodeMirror can't notice and update the value?
One option would be to remove CodeMirror in the JavaScript which submits the form.

Radio button REQUIRED if input field has content

I have a a reasonably quick problem to solve (I think). I have a form online and it validates the required content for the user's data, but has no validation on the first part of the form.
I've been asked however if I can make a radio button REQUIRED depending on whether an input field has been filled in.
The form can be found here:
http://www.elcorteingles.pt/reservas/livros_escolares/form.asp
So if the person start's filling in the input fields on the first line, that the radio buttons in the group become REQUIRED (for either the CDROM ou CADERNO but not both)
You can handle the focusout and blur events for the input:
$(function () {
// Handle every input type text.
// To select specific inputs, give them a common class and change the
// selector accordingly.
$("input[type=text]").on("focusout blur", function () {
// Check for inputs with class radio_btns which are in
// the parent element (li).
// Set their required property.
$(this).parent().find("input.radio_btns")
.prop("required", $(this).val().trim().length > 0);
});
});
Demo
jQuery reference (Tree Traversal)
jQuery reference (.prop())
jQuery reference (.focusout())
jQuery reference (.blur())
This will work. You can include the following JQuery code in the script tag, and also the JQuery cdn link in the head tag.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#01titulo').focusout(function(){
if ($(this).val() !== "") {
$('[name="01caderno"]').prop('required', true);
} else {
$('[name="01caderno"]').prop('required', false);
}
alert($('[name="01caderno"]').attr('required'));
});
});
Try using the following js code its working:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".titulo_books").each(function(){
$(this).focus(function(){
var radioChecked=0;
var currElemId = parseInt($(this).attr('id'));
var radioSelecterId = (currElemId>9) ? currElemId : "0"+currElemId;
$("input:radio[name="+radioSelecterId+"caderno]").each(function(){
if(radioChecked==0)
{
radioChecked==1;
$(this).attr("checked","checked");
}
});
});
});
});
I have checked it by executing this from console on your site and it seems to work fine. You can alter this in the way you want. I have checked one of the four available radio button. User can change the input value if required. Or you can also change the default radio button selected through my code.

How to lock the first word of a textarea?

Basically I need to create a textarea that is character limited, but will have a single word at the beginning, that they can't change.
It needs to be a part of the textarea, but I don't want users to be able to remove it or edit it.
I was thinking I could create a JQuery function using blur() to prevent the user from backspacing, but I also need to prevent them from selecting that word and deleting it.
UPDATE
I wrote this JQuery which seems to work great! However I like the solution below as it requires no Javascript.
<script type="text/javascript">
var $el = $("textarea#message_create_body");
$el.data('oldVal', $el.val());
$el.bind('keydown keyup keypress', function () {
var header = "Header: ";
var $this = $(this);
$this.data('newVal', $this.val());
var newValue = $this.data("newVal");
var oldValue = $this.data("oldVal");
// Check to make sure header not removed
if (!(newValue.substr(0, header.length) === header)) {
$(this).val(oldValue);
} else {
$(this).data('oldVal', $(this).val());
}
});
</script>
If you just want the textarea to show a prefix, you can use a label, change the position, and indent the textarea content. User will not notice the difference.
You can see how it works here: http://jsfiddle.net/FLEA3/.
How about just putting this word as a label next to the textbox? It may be confusing for the users not to be able to edit part of the text in the textbox.
Wouldn't it be better if you just alert the user that whatever he inputs in the textarea will be submitted with a "prefix" and then
show the prefix as a label before the textarea
add the prefix to the inputted text before submitting
