Insert a character into a text ...

[WoozyDuck]

Hi all

Ive used this function to insert a character in a text area:

Code: Select all

function addChar(inChar)
{
  document.getElementById("BlaBla").value = document.getElementById("BlaBla").value + inChar;
  document.getElementById("BlaBla").focus ();
}



it works perfect with IE , but it doesnt work in other brwosers!
can U help me how can I set this function working in all browsers?

Cheers

Hi,
Which browser does not work with your script?
I test it with Firefox (0.9.3) and it runs fine.
It seems to me pretty standard Javascript code.
Let me know.

Hi

well I have 5 browsers installed on my computer to test the codes!
this code just works in IE! and it doesnt insert any character in
any other browser for me!
Ive tested it in another place too , even my friends did it too
but it just works on Internet Explorer !
I think there is something wrong with (getElementById)
or maybe (document)!!!

is there any other way to get an Element isntead of using those command
to add a character into it ?

I'm not a JavaScript expert, but from what I can tell your code should be woring on most modern browsers (I take this page as evidence). Try making sure that getElementByID returns an object that you expect, and so on.

just use

Code: Select all

if( typeof documen.getElementById('sdfsf') == 'object' )
//object returned...
} else {
///
}
