HTML Editing via Div and Textarea Parsing Tutorial
The recent HTML Editing via Textarea and Div Primer Tutorial started us out on an HTML Editing web application via …
- “div” contenteditable=”true” Display edit window for the web browser look of the underlying HTML … of …
- “textarea” HTML edit window
Today we make some changes to fully utilize the screen space available to these two HTML elements, via CSS percentage width and height definitions.
Then we started on our aim to make this a helpful web application for users try to learn about HTML. So far, what we do to facilitate this is to parse the HTML of the textarea element on the right using our own parsing determinations. The user sees an interpretation of what the HTML content consists of, around where the textarea cursor has been placed by the user. We’d like to thank this useful link, as we used also when we presented Do It Yourself HTML Textarea Editor Cursor Tutorial some time ago, for some HTML textarea cursor position detection Javascript code.
After the recent Textarea Pointing Primer Tutorial project also involving HTML textarea elements we thought this project might need special coding treatment regarding “paste” operations into the HTML elements, but our tests show otherwise. You seem to be able to post text or HTML data into either side, and get results. So that’s good.
Again, you can try our live run link whose underlying HTML and Javascript and CSS can be perused and/or downloaded as contentEditable_true.html if you like, and which changed in this way to make this new parsing functionality happen.
