How to mark as selected the default text of multiple textarea on tabindex?

I have few textarea on which I want to get the default text selected when I tabbing upon it.
For a single textarea I've found a script which I adapted to my situation but is not an elegant solution.
How can I shorten it.
<script type="text/javascript">
var textBox1 = document.getElementById("textarea_1");
var textBox2 = document.getElementById("textarea_2");
var textBox3 = document.getElementById("textarea_3");
textBox1.onfocus = function() {
textBox1.select();
// Work around Chrome's little problem
textBox1.onmouseup = function() {
// Prevent further mouseup intervention
textBox1.onmouseup = null;
return false;
};
};
textBox2.onfocus = function() {
textBox2.select();
textBox2.onmouseup = function() {
textBox2.onmouseup = null;
return false;
};
};
textBox3.onfocus = function() {
textBox3.select();
textBox3.onmouseup = function() {
textBox3.onmouseup = null;
return false;
};
};
</script>

You can add a dedicated class name and refactor the code to be more generic using class name as selector an make it work for multiple textareas like this:
// Add the class 'auto-selectable' to the desired <texarea/> elements
var textBoxes = document.getElementByClassName('auto-selectable');
for(var i = 0; i < textBoxes.length; i++) {
var textBox = textBoxes[i];
textBox.select();
// Work around Chrome's little problem
textBox.onmouseup = function() {
// Prevent further mouseup intervention
textBox.onmouseup = null;
return false;
};
}

a small correction to Plamen's answer: Elements not Element
var textBoxes = document.getElementsByClassName('auto-selectable');
instead of:
var textBoxes = document.getElementByClassName('auto-selectable');

Store div status on page reload

I have multiple divs in one html page under common wrapper class.
I am using hide and show method on clicking next and previous option.
What I am trying to achieve: On page reload/refresh, the div which is showing currently should show after page reload.
So in short if you reload/refresh from pink screen, it should show same pink screen after page reload.
What I tried: I am storing the display properties (none or block) is local storage and on page reload trying to give same properties to divs again. Most of the responses and solution I checked in Stack overflow is regarding opening the same tab when refresh. but my case is what in same tab I have multiple div and I want to open from the same state which it was earlier.
Logic I used:
$(window).on('load', function(){
var disp = localStorage.getItem("disp");
var ustatus = JSON.parse(disp);
$(".chk").text(ustatus);
for (var x=ustatus; x<ustatus.length; x++){
$(".pg"+x).css("display", ustatus[x]);
}
});
This is fiddle link I tried:
Page reload demo JS Fiddle link

Your HTML and CSS code is perfect but you need to make corrections in your JavaScript code.
Observation 1 : You "for" loop to assign display style has problem with variable x. You need to assign integer value to x.
Observation 2 : You need to remove that "display" style from "div" elements when you click on "next" and "previous" links.
Hear is new Js fiddle link with updated code.
$(window).on('load', function () {
//localStorage.removeItem("disp");
var disp = localStorage.getItem("disp");
var ustatus = JSON.parse(disp);
$(".chk").text(ustatus);
for (var x = 1; x <= ustatus.length; x++) {
$(".pg" + x).css("display", ustatus[x-1]);
}
});
$(".next").on("click", function () {
$(this).parent().addClass("off").removeClass("on").removeAttr("style");
$(this).parent().next().addClass("on").removeClass("off").removeAttr("style");
});
$(".prev").on("click", function () {
$(this).parent().addClass("off").removeClass("on").removeAttr("style");
$(this).parent().prev().addClass("on").removeClass("off").removeAttr("style");
});
$(window).on('beforeunload', function () {
var display = $(".clr").map(function () {
return $(this).css("display");
}).get();
localStorage.setItem("disp", JSON.stringify(display));
});
You can also download this file. Please run index.html to see the output.

You don't really need the on class:
$(window).on('load', function(){
var disp = localStorage.getItem("disp");
var ustatus = JSON.parse(disp);
$(".chk").text(ustatus);
for (var x=0; x<ustatus.length; x++){
$(".pg"+(x+1)).toggleClass("off", ustatus[x]);
}
});
$(".next").on("click", function(){
$(this).parent().addClass("off");
$(this).parent().next().removeClass("off");
});
$(".prev").on("click", function(){
$(this).parent().addClass("off");
$(this).parent().prev().removeClass("off");
});
$(window).on('beforeunload', function(){
var display = $(".clr").map(function(){
return $(this).hasClass("off");
}).get();
localStorage.setItem("disp", JSON.stringify(display));
});
Fiddle
note: you can't use $(window).on('load', ...) in a fiddle - the JS in the editor is run on load
EDIT: you might also want to validate ustatus before applying it, something like
if (Array.isArray(ustatus) && ustatus.filter(x => x === true).length === 1) {
for (var x=0; x<ustatus.length; x++){
$(".pg"+(x+1)).toggleClass("off", ustatus[x]);
}
}

You can do it without using display, you can use on and off classes, i think that's why they are created for
$(window).on('load', function(){
var disp = localStorage.getItem("disp");
var ustatus = JSON.parse(disp);
if(ustatus!=undefined){
$(".chk").text(ustatus);
for (var x=1; x<=ustatus.length; x++){
if(ustatus[x-1]=='on'){
$(".pg"+x).addClass("on").removeClass("off");
}
else{
$(".pg"+x).addClass("off").removeClass("on");
}
}
}
$(".next").on("click", function(){
$(this).parent().addClass("off").removeClass("on");
$(this).parent().next().addClass("on").removeClass("off");
});
$(".prev").on("click", function(){
$(this).parent().addClass("off").removeClass("on");
$(this).parent().prev().addClass("on").removeClass("off");
});
$(window).on('beforeunload', function(){
var display = $(".clr").map(function(){
if($(this).hasClass('on'))
return 'on';
else
return 'off';
}).get();
localStorage.setItem("disp", JSON.stringify(display));
});
});

When using the Microsoft Translator, Is there a way to remove the widget, but retain translation?

I'm using the Microsoft Translation Widget, which I'd like to use to automatically translate a webpage without user interaction.
The problem is, I can't get rid of the widget that keeps popping up or hide it on document.ready because the CSS and JS get loaded from Microsoft's own script in the widget!
Does anyone know a way around this? I've looked everywhere and cannot find a solutuion for this.

Whoa, after some time playing around with that, I've finally achieved what you want.
It's kindda ugly, because of some needed workarounds, but it works, take a look at the fiddle.
The steps were:
Firstly, we must override the default addEventListener behavior:
var addEvent = EventTarget.prototype.addEventListener;
var events = [];
EventTarget.prototype.addEventListener = function(type, listener) {
addEvent.apply(this, [].slice.call(arguments));
events.push({
element: this,
type: type,
listener: listener
});
}
Then, we create a helper function removeEvents. It removes all the event listeners of an element.
var removeEvents = function(el, type) {
var elEvents = events.filter(function(ev) {
return ev.element === el && (type ? ev.type === type : true);
});
for (var i = 0; i < elEvents.length; i++) {
el.removeEventListener(elEvents[i].type, elEvents[i].listener);
}
}
When creating the script tag, in the way Microsoft says:
var s = d.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.charset = 'UTF-8';
s.src = ((location && location.href && location.href.indexOf('https') == 0) ? 'https://ssl.microsofttranslator.com' : 'http://www.microsofttranslator.com') + '/ajax/v3/WidgetV3.ashx?siteData=ueOIGRSKkd965FeEGM5JtQ**&ctf=True&ui=true&settings=Manual&from=';
var p = d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || d.dElement;
p.insertBefore(s, p.firstChild);
We must add a load event listener to that script, and the code below is fully commented:
s.addEventListener('load', function() {
// when someone changes the translation, the plugin calls the method TranslateArray
// then, we save the original method in a variable, and we override it
var translate = Microsoft.Translator.TranslateArray;
Microsoft.Translator.TranslateArray = function() {
// we call the original method
translate.apply(this, [].slice.call(arguments));
// since the translation is not immediately available
// and we don't have control when it will be
// I've created a helper function to wait for it
waitForTranslation(function() {
// as soon as it is available
// we get all the elements with an attribute lang
[].forEach.call(d.querySelectorAll('[lang]'), function(item, i) {
// and we remove all the mouseover event listeners of them
removeEvents(item, 'mouseover');
});
});
}
// this is the helper function which waits for the translation
function waitForTranslation(cb) {
// since we don't have control over the translation callback
// the workaround was to see if the Translating label is visible
// we keep calling the function, until it's hidden again
// and then we call our callback
var visible = d.getElementById('FloaterProgressBar').style.visibility;
if (visible === 'visible') {
setTimeout(function() {
waitForTranslation(cb);
}, 0);
return;
}
cb();
}
});
Update 1
After re-reading your question, it seems you want to hide all the widgets at all.
So, you must add the following code as soon as the translation is got:
waitForTranslation(function() {
document.getElementById('MicrosoftTranslatorWidget').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('WidgetLauncher').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('LauncherTranslatePhrase').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('TranslateSpan').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('LauncherLogo').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('WidgetFloaterPanels').style.display = 'none';
// rest of the code
});
I've created another fiddle for you, showing that new behavior.
Update 2
You can prevent the widget showing at all by adding the following CSS code:
#MicrosoftTranslatorWidget, #WidgetLauncher, #LauncherTranslatePhrase, #TranslateSpan, #LauncherLogo, #WidgetFloaterPanels {
opacity: 0!important;
}
And you can even prevent the before-translated text being showed, by hiding the document.body by default, and then showing it when the page is fully translated:
(function(w, d) {
document.body.style.display = 'none';
/* (...) */
s.addEventListener('load', function() {
var translate = Microsoft.Translator.TranslateArray;
Microsoft.Translator.TranslateArray = function() {
translate.apply(this, [].slice.call(arguments));
waitForTranslation(function() {
/* (...) */
document.body.style.display = 'block';
});
}
});
});
Take a look at the final fiddle I've created.

For me, this was the solution:
on your < style > section add this class
.LTRStyle { display: none !important }
Also, if you are invoking the translation widget this way:
Microsoft.Translator.Widget.Translate('en', lang, null, null, TranslationDone, null, 3000);
then add this to your callback (in this example is TranslationDone) function:
function TranslationDone() {
Microsoft.Translator.Widget.domTranslator.showHighlight = false;
Microsoft.Translator.Widget.domTranslator.showTooltips = false;
document.getElementById('WidgetFloaterPanels').style.display = 'none';
};

Replace All Words In Document Body Doesn't Work

Firstly sorry for my english, i have code that doesnt work when I execute it on
<script language="javascript" src="/thecode.js"></script>
I put thecode.js on footer
var msg=document.body.innerHTML;
for(var i=0;i<msg.length;i++){
var tx=document.body[i].innerHTML;
tx=tx.replace(/dog/ig,'animal');
tx=tx.replace(/apple/ig,'fruit');
tx=tx.replace(/\[VIdEo\]/ig,'Video');
tx=tx.replace(/http\:\/\/example\.com/ig,'http://thelink.com');
document.body.innerHTML=tx;}
I think i dont make any fault, but when i execute it, its doesnt work.
thank for your attention... :)

no need to iterate body element
try this:
want to change to with that js? i have used to make it
function addTitleToSurveyUrls() {
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(var el in elements) {
var element = elements[el];
var href = element.getAttribute("href");
if(href.indexOf('survey_')>-1) {
element.setAttribute('title', 'Some TITLE HERE');
}
}
}
function replaceBodyElements() {
var tx=document.body.innerHTML;
tx = tx.replace(/dog/ig,'animal');
tx = tx.replace(/apple/ig,'fruit');
tx = tx.replace(/\[VIdEo\]/ig,'Video');
tx = tx.replace(/http\:\/\/example\.com/ig,'http://thelink.com');
document.body.innerHTML=tx;
}
window.onload = function(){
replaceBodyElements();
addTitleToSurveyUrls();
// ... some another operations
};
also
document.onreadystatechange = function () {
var state = document.readyState;
if(state == 'complete') {
replaceBodyElements();
addTitleToSurveyUrls();
}
}​
I've used onload event because maybe document has dynamic elements and etc. so better wait while all elements get loaded and change it.
or You can replace window.onload with window.document.onload

addEventListener won't work because of null

All I'm trying to do is have the user click the button, and when that event occurs I want an image to display within a div. I inspected the element, and it says that tableButton is undefined, but I defined it right before the addEventListener. What am I doing wrong? Sorry, I'm new to javascript.
function openTable() {
var code = "<img src='PeriodicTableOfElements.png'>";
var periodic = document.getElementById("Periodic");
periodic.innerHTML = code;
}
var tableButton = document.getElementById("openTable");
tableButton.addEventListener("click", openTable, false);

Have you made sure to wrap it in window.onload, elements can't exist if the window hasn't loaded.
window.onload = function(){
function openTable() {
var code = "<img src='PeriodicTableOfElements.png'>";
var periodic = document.getElementById("Periodic");
periodic.innerHTML = code;
}
var tableButton = document.getElementById("openTable");
tableButton.addEventListener("click", openTable, false);
}
