对于写javascript写网页编辑器的人来说,获取textarea中的光标位置是一个非常重要的问题,而往往很多人在这个地方不知所措,找不到好的办法。昨天我在网上找到了一段javascript代码,本来不想把原版放在这里的,就是因为太精彩了,怕我给改坏了,所以还是原版放在这里吧。
var start=0;
var end=0;
function add(){
var textBox = document.getElementById("ta");
var pre = textBox.value.substr(0, start);
var post = textBox.value.substr(end);
textBox.value = pre + document.getElementById("inputtext").value + post;
}
function savePos(textBox){
//如果是Firefox(1.5)的话,方法很简单
if(typeof(textBox.selectionStart) == "number"){
start = textBox.selectionStart;
end = textBox.selectionEnd;
}
//下面是IE(6.0)的方法,麻烦得很,还要计算上'\n'
else if(document.selection){
var range = document.selection.createRange();
if(range.parentElement().id == textBox.id){
// create a selection of the whole textarea
var range_all = document.body.createTextRange();
range_all.moveToElementText(textBox);
//两个range,一个是已经选择的text(range),一个是整个textarea(range_all)
//range_all.compareEndPoints()比较两个端点,如果range_all比range更往左(further to the left),则 //返回小于0的值,则range_all往右移一点,直到两个range的start相同。
// calculate selection start point by moving beginning of range_all to beginning of range
for (start=0; range_all.compareEndPoints("StartToStart", range) range_all.moveStart('character', 1);
// get number of line breaks from textarea start to selection start and add them to start
// 计算一下
for (var i = 0; i if (textBox.value.charAt(i) == '\n')
start++;
}
// create a selection of the whole textarea
var range_all = document.body.createTextRange();
range_all.moveToElementText(textBox);
// calculate selection end point by moving beginning of range_all to end of range
for (end = 0; range_all.compareEndPoints('StartToEnd', range) range_all.moveStart('character', 1);
// get number of line breaks from textarea start to selection end and add them to end
for (var i = 0; i if (textBox.value.charAt(i) == '\n')
end ++;
}
}
}
document.getElementById("start").value = start;
document.getElementById("end").value = end;
}
下面是在页面中调用js代码的方法:
