Text in a textbox

Hi there - I have a simple query:
I am looking for some javascript code for an email text box:.
When the page loads the text in the text box will state
"Enter email address"
When the user clicks in the text box - the text will disappear allowing the user to write his/her email address.
Thank you

I am looking for some javascript code for an email
text box:.And why are you looking for code in Netscape's Javascript in Sun's Java forum?
When the user clicks in the text box - the text will
disappear allowing the user to write his/her email
address.For what it's worth: catch the onClick event and set the textbox's value to "".

Change background of the text in a TextBox

(JavaFX 1.3) How can one change the background (color, gradient, whatever) of the text in a TextBox without affecting any of the other display (Skin) attributes for the TextBox?
A related question is: How can I programmatically determine the background (color, gradient, whatever) of the text in a TextBox?
I would like to be able to indicate to the user that the text entered is not valid by changing the background of the text to something other than the original background and change it back to the original background when the text is valid. This would probably be done inside overridden replaceSelection and/or commit functions when extending a TextBox.

This seems to change the background of a button from the caspian style to something else and back to the caspian style, without losing the focus highlight.
// caspianFXBodyColor = definition of -fx-body-color in .scene from caspian.css
def caspianFXBodyColor = "linear (0%,0%) to (0%,100%) stops (0,derive(-fx-color,34%)) (1,derive(-fx-color,-18%))";
def revisedFXBodyColor = "red";
Stage {
scene: Scene {
    width: 250
    height: 300
    content: Button {
      var isCaspian = true;
      var bodyColor: String = caspianFXBodyColor;
      text: "push me"
      style: bind "-fx-body-color: {bodyColor};"
      action: function() {
        if (isCaspian = not isCaspian) bodyColor = caspianFXBodyColor
        else bodyColor = revisedFXBodyColor;
}However, the original question regarding how to do this for a TextBox remains unanswered. The following code demonstrates that changing the value for -fx-background-color changes the background color as desired, but the focus highlight is lost. Changing the value of -fx-body-color has no visible effect.
// caspianBGColor = definition of -fx-background-color in .text-box{} in caspian.css
def caspianBGColor = "-fx-background-color: -fx-shadow-highlight-color, -fx-text-box-border, -fx-control-inner-background;";
def revisedBGColor = "-fx-background-color: -fx-shadow-highlight-color, -fx-text-box-border, red;";
def caspianBodyColor = "-fx-body-color: -fx-control-inner-background;";
def revisedBodyColor = "-fx-body-color: red;";
def box = TextBox { text: "sample text" }
var isCaspianBackground = true;
var isCaspianBody = true;
def button1 = Button {
text: bind "change {if (isCaspianBackground) 'from' else 'to'} caspian background color"
action: function() {
    if (isCaspianBackground) box.style = revisedBGColor else box.style = caspianBGColor;
    isCaspianBackground = not isCaspianBackground;
def button2 = Button {
text: bind "change {if (isCaspianBody) 'from' else 'to'} caspian body color"
action: function() {
    if (isCaspianBody) box.style = revisedBodyColor else box.style = caspianBodyColor;
    isCaspianBody = not isCaspianBody;
Stage {
scene: Scene {
    width: 250
    height: 300
    content: [ VBox { content: [ box, button1, button2 ] } ]

Justifying a text in a textbox

I've got a ridiculous problem, but there's no way to find the way.
The think is that I can't justify the text in a textbox of a book.
I found a similar post in that forum that solves the problem. There is said that I've to select the textbox and not the text and a different menu will appear. There's no way to select the textbox...
I understand it looks like a ridiculous question, but really, I don't know how to do it.
thank you everyone!

I've found it at the "MoreLikeThis" frame.
Just shake it! Then appear a window with a undo-function.
Thanks!

Vertically center text in a textbox

Like Indesign, a way to vertically justify or center a text in a textbox.

I don't know if there is a way to automatically center the text, but you can play with padding, if font size and height are fixed:
.text-box *.viewport {
    -fx-padding: 15 5 3 5;
// Tested with:
TextBox
    text: "Hello World"
    columns: 12
    selectOnFocus: true
    layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { height: 50 }
}

Different coloured text in one Textbox

Can someone PLEASE help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to know how to have different coloured text in the same textbox.
My application has text being inputted into the textbox every 5 seconds from 2 different sources. I want to differenciate the text by showing the user 2 different colours for each source.
Thank you very much

Acording to the first post it also shows data, so it is a GUI component. i never sow a textbox.
JTextPane can show data in different colors. also JTextArea can.

Search Text in a TextBox using IndexOf

Rather than using Regular Expression I want to know how I can use LastIndexOf and IndexOf to search for the Next and Previous match of a word typed. I want to use a TextBox and not a RichTextBox. Can someone provide me with a way to do this using loop so
it gets all the matches. I've got this so far:
Public Function FindAndSelect(TextToFind As String, MatchCase As Boolean) As Boolean
Dim mode = If(MatchCase, StringComparison.CurrentCulture, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
Dim position As Integer = textBox1.Text.IndexOf(TextToFind, mode)
If position = -1 Then
Return False
End If
textBox1.SelectionStart = position
textBox1.SelectionLength = TextToFind.Length
TextBox1.Select()
Return True
End Function
MessageBox.Show("Hey You!")

Hello,
For Next, we could get that done with following way since we could select start index, you could refer to
String.IndexOf Method (String, Int32, StringComparison).
Dim startPostion As Integer = 0
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim str As String = "1"
' Dim mode = If(StringComparison.CurrentCulture, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
If startPostion + str.Length > TextBox1.Text.Count Then
Return
End If
Dim position As Integer = TextBox1.Text.IndexOf("1", startPostion, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
If position = -1 Then
Return
End If
TextBox1.SelectionStart = position
TextBox1.SelectionLength = str.Length
startPostion = position + str.Length
TextBox1.Select()
End Sub
The part about previous is quite similar, you could edit it to suit your scenario.

Carl

How do I highlight text in a textbox?

I am trying to use a find function that will search through raw data and highlight a match to a search string. Is there a way in which I can do this or do I need to setup a table and use cells?

It depends on what you want to do when you say highlight. You can select any substring from a textbox programmatically with SetCtrlAttribute setting the TextSelectionStart and TextSelectionLength properties. Remember to make the text box the active control though with SetActiveCtrl in order to see the selection. You cannot highlight by color though.

Cant insert Text into a TextBox. (Confusing Problem, CS6)

Hello forum members!
Just got the trial today and I am trying to insert text into a document. I press "T" and drag a box for a textbox. I then double-click inside that box to type something, and whatever I type absolutely NOTHING appears. It just blinks and nothing is actually typed inside the box.
This is really frustrating. I have only just started and have one document that is fresh, so my question is what is the problem here?
Thanks in advance,
Shane Stocks

Could you elaborate on that a little? I have taken a screenshot of my screen to show you how everything is. I have not touched any settings and have literally downloaded the trial about an hour ago.
I do this. Click on the T, drag a box, then start typing. When I type, the icon does not move, and for some reason it seems what I am typing renames the layer tab. Please view the image, everything is there.
Thanks again,
P.S. The text-box does dissapear when the icon changes into a text icon, and the image above is me typing random things. Nothing appears.

Visio: Can't get Text Data in "Textboxes" to Export Properly using Reports or Databased Export Wizard

Clarification: by textbox -- I mean a "text" shape created by using the "A Text" tool that appears in the ribbon. They are just free text boxes that are not associated w/
any other shape.
Hi. I am using Visio Professional 2010. I am interested in extracting from each of my visio diagrams/drawings the text information that is shown in textboxes.
I've tried using the Database Export Wizard and the Reports add-on; neither work. I've tried exporting to Excel and to Access.
What I end up w/ is for some textboxes, the contained text is exported. But for other textboxes, nothing is exported or in some cases just a single letter/character is exported. I checked the number of characters in each textbox and all but one have fewer
than 255 characters -- (if that makes a difference??). Some textboxes contain newline character (i.e., carriage returns). Does that make a difference?
I've looked at previous questions and answers on the web and on this forum re. this topic and followed the proscribed advice, w/ no success. So any additional advice anyone can provide me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks -
CJA

Hey Chris,
I tried exporting the text in visio drawing using database export wizard and found that yes the text which is associated with the sub group doesn't get exported.
So the solution I think would work is that we have to write a macro which would read the shape.text property and it should check that if the shape is a group shape then it would check the sub shapes to get the text associated with them.
You can refer to following msdn page to write this macro,
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff766497(v=office.15).aspx
Let me know if you need further help to resolve your issue or if I have missed something.

Ticking a checkbox puts text into a textbox

Hi guys,
I am struggling to find an example of code for the really simply scenario of, a checkbox (Checkbox1) is ticked and pre-fills a textbox (Textbox1) with "Blah blah blah".
When the checkbox is unticked, the text vanishes.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks for answering this question as i was looking for something similar. Could this be modified to fill multiple boxes? The following was tried without success. Without the second line added it works perfect.
if (event.target.value!="Off") { //If checkbox is ticked
this.getField("Textbox1").value = "Blah blah blah";
this.getField("Textbox2").value = "BooYaa";
else
this.getField("Textbox1").value = "";
this.getField("Textbox2").value = "";
//Clear the text field if checkbox is not ticked

Acrobat pro 9 - How do I reference the text in another textbox on another page?

Near the top of each page on my form I have a text box that users are to enter their company name. Unfortunately, there is the same information requested on each page in the form. It is too far down to use a header, but I don't think you can place a field in the header.
I know that you can use the Calculate tab to reference the numeric values of other fields, for mathematical purposes. What I would like to do is: Have the other company name fields in the rest of document reference the first one so the user only has to enter it once.
I have been searching and googling without success, and I even checked the manual but found no reference in the logical areas. Can this be done with Acrobat Pro 9?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Gregory

Huh. Whaddya know, it does. Such an easy solution. And it is probably documented somewhere. I guess I should have done more than skim through the manual. Thanks Gilad.

Tagging certain text in a textbox

Hello,
I am using Indesign with some scripting to build catalogue pages on the fly. I've got it working really well, but another question has arisen and I'm not sure how to answer it.
Each product has a single image and a single text frame describing the product. The text frame has many pieces of information about the product including a description, physical size and pricing information. I have been asked to code the system so that the price information can be updated if price changes after the catalogue is produced, but before it is printed. I have a script label on the text frame so I can update all the text in the frame, but sometimes there are manual changes made in Indesign that would be disrupted if I re-insert all the information in the text frame.
Is there a way to "tag" a certain piece of data in the text frame so that I can update it later without disturbing the rest of the contents of that text frame?
Almost like an XML markup of some sort so that I can locate just the price. I have asked if we can put the price in its own text frame but there are other formatting issues that arise when we use more than one text frame for the description.
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks for the relplies. We're using CS3 so I've explained to them that we can't do it with the current version.
Thanks again.
Dave
