How Facebook changes the Emoji from their symbols while chatting?

First Image - Initial Text when typing something in Facebook Chat Box
Second Image - The moment you hit space it converts to this!
I have seen in developer console it is not the input box at all, they are using span and all with background-image to do it but how to actually combine it completely, to avoid any clutter whatsoever. I am attaching a link of codepen of what I did when pressing Enter key. But not able to do for the Space Bar. Codepen Link Anything you guys can help. Thanks in advance. NOTE :- No external libraries and would prefer Javascript answer.

console.log("Inside keypress event")
var textEntered = chatDetailText.value;
var keyPressed = e.which || e.keyCode;
console.log(emojiContainer[this.value])
if (keyPressed === 13){
console.log("inside keypress 13")
if(emojiContainer[this.value]){
console.log("inside value found of enter")
var emojiImg = document.createElement("img");
emojiImg.src = emojiContainer[this.value];
document.getElementById('enterPressed').appendChild(emojiImg);
document.getElementById('chatDetailText').value = '';
}else{
console.log("value not found of enter")
var divChatDetail = document.createElement('div');
/*chatDetailSeperator.className = "aClassName";*/ //To add class name for div
divChatDetail.innerHTML = this.value;
document.getElementById('enterPressed').appendChild(divChatDetail);
document.getElementById('chatDetailText').value = '';
}
}
}, false);

You can use HTML5 ContentEditable attribute for div.
here is just an example. Take care of cert position etc.
var emojiContainer = {
":)" : "https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/zeb/2/16/1f642.png",
"<3" : "https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/zed/2/16/2764.png"
};
var chatDetailText = document.getElementById('chatDetailText');
chatDetailText.addEventListener("keypress", function (e) {
console.log("Inside keypress event")
var textEntered = chatDetailText.innerHTML;
var keyPressed = e.which || e.keyCode;
console.log(keyPressed)
if (keyPressed === 32){
var last_word = textEntered.split(" ");
last_word = last_word[last_word.length-1];
console.log(last_word);
if(emojiContainer[last_word]){
console.log("inside value found of enter")
var emojiImg = "<img src='"+emojiContainer[last_word]+"' >";
textEntered = textEntered.replace(last_word, emojiImg)
chatDetailText.innerHTML = textEntered;
}
}
}, false);
<div id="enterPressed"></div>
<div contenteditable="true" id="chatDetailText" >edit this</div>

I got it done, thanks to Zeeshan for helping me with contenteditable. Do update if you have any improvisations.

You just need to change the line if (keyPressed === 13){ to if (keyPressed === 32){ in your codepen link. And to stop that from posting the comment, you just need to add another function for if (keypressed === 13).

Javascript test to see if first 4 characters are correct

I am trying to run a script to see if i can verify the first 4 characters in a text box. The text box works to tell me that the characters are not there but when i put the first 4 number in correctly it still gives me the same error. Also the text box has a min of 15 characters and a max of 16 characters.
Here is the script:
var check_card_no = function (event){
check_digits = card_no.substring(0, 4);
if(check_digits=="9999"){
return true;
}
else{
alert("please enter valid Credit Card Number");
patron_card_no.value="";
patron_card_no.focus();
return false;
}
}
Just so every can see the full code here is everything for the script:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Caspio form elements kkw
var Ticket_PriceField = document.getElementById('InsertRecordTicket_Price');
var Number_of_TicketsField = document.getElementById('InsertRecordNumber_of_Tickets');
var totalField = document.querySelectorAll('span[class^="cbParamVirtual4"]')[0];
var patron_card_no = document.getElementById('InsertRecordPatron_Credit_Card_Number');
var card_no=patron_card_no.value;
var card_date=document.getElementById('InsertRecordPatron_Credit_Card_Exp');
var caspioForm = document.getElementById('caspioform');
// Event handler
var calculateTotal = function (event)
{
// TODO: Do something on value change -->
totalField.innerHTML = Ticket_PriceField.value * Number_of_TicketsField.value;
}
// Run total calculation on input
Number_of_TicketsField.addEventListener('input', calculateTotal);
// credit card no check
var check_card_no = function (event){
check_digits = card_no.substring(0, 4);
if(check_digits=="9999" ){
return true;
}
else{
alert("please enter valid Credit Card Number");
patron_card_no.value="";
patron_card_no.focus();
return false;
}
}
patron_card_no.addEventListener('change', check_card_no);
function check_credit_card_date(){
var credit_card_date=card_date.value;
var card_month=credit_card_date.substring(0, 2);
var card_year=credit_card_date.substring(2, 4);
if(credit_card_date.length==4 && (card_month > 0 && card_month < 13) && (card_year > 16 && card_month < 31) ){
return true;
}
else
{
alert("please enter valid Credit Card Exp. Date ");
card_date.value="";
card_date.focus();
return false;
}
}
card_date.addEventListener('change', check_credit_card_date);
</script>

Unless you have some kind of framework providing binding between the view and your javascript, you explicitly have to read again the <input> when you change it.

Assuming you pass String input to your function.
var check_card_no = function (card_no){
check_digits = card_no.substring(0, 4);
if(check_digits=="9999"){
return true;
}
else{
//alert("please enter valid Credit Card Number");
//patron_card_no.value="";
//patron_card_no.focus();
return false;
}
}
console.log('Valid Card test= '+check_card_no('99992222'));
console.log('Invalid Card test= '+check_card_no('2288888'));

How to force loop to wait until user press submit button?

I have simple function which checks if entered pin code is valid. But i don't know how to force for-loop to wait until i enter code again to check again it's validity.
So how it should be - i type PIN code, then click OK button and it checks whether it's correct (if it is, i can see my account menu; if it's not i have to type it again and i have 2 chances left). My code fails, because PIN when code is wrong program should wait until i type new code and press OK button again.
I tried setTimeout(), callback(), but it doesn't work. This is what i have - a function with for-loop that just runs 3 times (as it is suppose to, but not instantly) without giving a chance to correct the PIN code.
That's whole, unfinished yet, code: http://jsfiddle.net/j1yz0zuj/
Only function with for-loop, which checks validity of PIN code:
var submitKey = function(callback)
{
console.log("digit status" + digitStatus);
if (digitStatus == 0)
{
correctPIN = 1234;
var onScreen = document.getElementById("screen");
for (i=0; i<3; i++)
{
if (onScreen.innerHTML.slice(15, onScreen.innerHTML.length) == correctPIN)
{
setTimeout(accountMenu, 1250);
//break;
}
else
{
onScreen.innerHTML += "<br> Błędny kod PIN! Wpisz PIN ponownie. <br> Pozostało prób: " + (2-i);
callback();
//cardInserted = function(function(){console.log("Ponowne wpisanie PINu");});
}
if (i=2) console.log("blokada");
}
}
else if (digitStatus == 1)
{
}
}

Your approach is wrong. You should not make the user wait!!! You need 2 more variables at the top of your programm pincount=0 and pininputallowed. Increase pincount in the submit key function by 1 and then check if pincount<3.
Here is a corrected version of your code.
http://jsfiddle.net/kvsx0kkx/16/
var pinCount=0,
pinAllowed=true;
var submitKey = function()
{
console.log("digit status" + digitStatus);
if (digitStatus == 0)
{
correctPIN = 1234;
var onScreen = document.getElementById("screen");
pinCount++;
if(pinCount >= 3) {
pinAllowed = false;
onScreen.innerHTML = "<br>blokada";
}
if(pinAllowed){
if (onScreen.innerHTML.slice(15, onScreen.innerHTML.length) == correctPIN)
{
setTimeout(accountMenu, 1250);
//break;
}
else
{
onScreen.innerHTML += "<br> Błędny kod PIN! Wpisz PIN ponownie. <br> Pozostało prób: " + (3-pinCount);
inputLength = 0;
document.getElementById("screen").innerHTML += "<br>Wpisz kod PIN: ";
//callback();
//cardInserted = function(function(){console.log("Ponowne wpisanie PINu");});
}
}
}
else if (digitStatus == 1)
{
}
}
You need to create much more variables to control your machine. Your add/delete digit function had conditions that were badly written and only worked if the text on the screen was short enough.
var inputLength = 0;
addDigit = function(digit){
//numKeyValue = numKeyValue instanceof MouseEvent ? this.value : numKeyValue;{
if (inputLength < pinLength) {
onScreen.innerHTML += this.value;
inputLength++;
}
//if (onScreen.innerHTML == 1234) console.log("PIN został wprowadzony");
},
delDigit = function(){
if (inputLength >= 0) {
onScreen.innerHTML = onScreen.innerHTML.slice(0, -1);
inputLength--;
}
};
If you want to empty the screen at any moment you can insert onScreen.innerHTML = ''; anywhere
ps: Thanks for the exercise and nice automat you made there.

Combining Javascript Validation Functions

Alright I need help combining the two JavaScript Functions... I have tried multiple times and am not coming up with any luck. There almost identical functions except the fact that I change one number so that it thinks there different textboxes. I tried putting a variable in its place but then it always only validates to the ending number of the loop. Please show me how I may be able to combine these two functions. (Its my only work around and I can not find any examples similar to mine)
First:
<script type="text/javascript">
var QnoText = ['abc_1']; // add IDs here for questions with optional text input
function doSubmit_1() {
var ids_1 = '';
flag_1 = true;
for (i=0; i<QnoText.length; i++) {
CkStatus = document.getElementById(QnoText[i]).checked;
ids_1 = QnoText[i]+'Certificate_1';
if (CkStatus && document.getElementById(ids_1).value == '') {
alert('Please enter certificate number 1.');
document.getElementById(ids_1).focus();
flag_1 = false;
alert('return flag_1');
}
}
return flag_1;
}
</script>
Second:
<script type="text/javascript">
var QnoText = ['abc_2']; // add IDs here for questions with optional text input
function doSubmit_2() {
var ids_2 = '';
flag_2 = true;
for (i=0; i<QnoText.length; i++) {
CkStatus = document.getElementById(QnoText[i]).checked;
ids_2 = QnoText[i]+'Certificate_2';
if (CkStatus && document.getElementById(ids_2).value == '') {
alert('Please enter certificate number 2.');
document.getElementById(ids_2).focus();
flag_2 = false;
alert('return flag_2');
}
}
return flag_2;
}
</script>

You can pass a parameter in your function with the number of the textbox, like this:
var QnoText = ['abc_2']; // add IDs here for questions with optional text input
function doSubmit(n) {
var ids = '';
flag = true;
for (i=0; i<QnoText.length; i++) {
CkStatus = document.getElementById(QnoText[i]).checked;
ids = QnoText[i]+'Certificate_' + n;
if (CkStatus && document.getElementById(ids).value == '') {
alert('Please enter certificate number ' + n + '.');
document.getElementById(ids).focus();
flag = false;
alert('return flag_' + n);
}
}
return flag;
}
doSubmit(1); // for your submit 1
doSubmit(2); // for your submit 2
Is this what you wanted? because is not very clear. If is not feel free to explain.

to disable required field validator

this is my javascript code here i am unable to disable the textbox(id="due_Date") when i get the zero or negative amount in text feild (id="subtotal_input")...any help would be appreciated....
<script>
window.onload = function()
{
document.getElementById('subtotal_input').onchange = disablefield;
document.getElementById('phone_no').onchange = disablefield;
document.getElementById('phone_yes').onchange = disablefield;
}
function disablefield()
{
if ( document.getElementById('subtotal_input').value <= 0 )
{
document.getElementById('due_Date').value = '';
document.getElementById('due_Date').disabled = true
}
if ( document.getElementById('phone_no').checked == true )
{
document.getElementById('ReturnDate').value = '';
document.getElementById('ReturnDate').disabled = true}
else if (document.getElementById('phone_yes').checked == true ){
document.getElementById('ReturnDate').disabled = false;
}
}

You can use ValidatorEnable(validator, enable) to enable or disable a validator.
You can use something like this:
objValidator = document.getElementById("<%=YourRequiredValidatorID.ClientID %>");
objValidator.enabled = true; //'true' if you want to enable else 'false'
ValidatorUpdateDisplay(objValidator);
Let me know if it works for you!
