The functions and usage of this extension for text field:
1. Get cursor position: $(elem). IGetFieldPos ();
2. Set the cursor position: $(elem). ISelectField (start);
3. Select the character in the specified position: $(elem). ISelectField (start,end);
4. Select the specified character: $(elem). ISelectStr (STR);
5. Insert string after cursor: $(elem). IAdd (STR);
6. Delete n characters before (-n) or after (n) of the cursor: $(elem). IDel (n);
JQuery extension code:
;(function($){
$.fn.extend({
iGetFieldPos:function(){
var field=this.get(0);
if(document.selection){
//IE
$(this).focus();
var sel=document.selection;
var range=sel.createRange();
var dupRange=range.duplicate();
dupRange.moveToElementText(field);
dupRange.setEndPoint('EndToEnd',range);
field.selectionStart=dupRange.text.length-range.text.length;
field.selectionEnd=field.selectionStart+ range.text.length;
}
return field.selectionStart;
},
iSelectField:function(start,end){
var field=this.get(0);
//If end is not defined, set the cursor position
if(arguments[1]==undefined){
end=start;
}
if(document.selection){
//IE
var range = field.createTextRange();
range.moveEnd('character',-$(this).val().length);
range.moveEnd('character',end);
range.moveStart('character',start);
range.select();
}else{
//The IE
field.setSelectionRange(start,end);
$(this).focus();
}
},
iSelectStr:function(str){
var field=this.get(0);
var i=$(this).val().indexOf(str);
i != -1 ? $(this).iSelectField(i,i+str.length) : false;
},
iAddField:function(str){
var field=this.get(0);
var v=$(this).val();
var len=$(this).val().length;
if(document.selection){
//IE
$(this).focus()
document.selection.createRange().text=str;
}else{
//The IE
var selPos=field.selectionStart;
$(this).val($(this).val().slice(0,field.selectionStart)+str+$(this).val().slice(field.selectionStart,len));
this.iSelectField(selPos+str.length);
};
},
iDelField:function(n){
var field=this.get(0);
var pos=$(this).iGetFieldPos();
var v=$(this).val();
//If it is greater than 0, it will delete the back. If it is less than 0, it will delete the front
$(this).val(n>0 ? v.slice(0,pos-n)+v.slice(pos) : v.slice(0,pos)+v.slice(pos-n));
$(this).iSelectField(pos-(n<0 ? 0 : n));
}
});
})(jQuery);
Load it into the extension code and call it based on the method name in the extension.
