Question
I want to submit part of a TextArea (User has entered Multiple Lines and selected one line either by Highlighting or by placing the cursor on the line). If user press the Submit Button then, I need to get the Line or word user has selected.
Just for my requirement Understanding See Below Example
Ex:- TOAD, SQL Server : where we can enter multiple Queries and When we press CTRL+Enter or F9 the selected Query only gets submitted to Database
Solution
did exactly that, for MS SQL Server 2005 ;)
var selected = window.getSelection
? function (s, t)
{
var sel = s.substring(
t.selectionStart
, t.selectionEnd
);
return sel.length ? sel : s;
}
: function (s, t)
{
var r = document.selection.createRange();
return r.text && t == r.parentElement()
? r.text
: s
;
}
;
var $t = $('#query-textarea');
var query = selected($t.val(), $t[0]);
