sendText Help

[jrp1]

Im working on a script where, when you click an image, it automatically enters the text "FOO BAR" into a form field. How can I make it so just "FOO" is highlighted when this text is entered? Here's my current code:

<div>
<img src="/images/file.png" name="image" onClick="sendText(document.search.q, 'FOO BAR')">
</div>

To elaborate, I need both words to be inserted into the form via Javascript, but only the word "FOO" to be highlighted.

Hey, I think I have what you're after. Try this:


<script>
function sendText(field, content){
var content1 = content.substr(0, content.indexOf(" "));
document.getElementById(field).value = content;
document.getElementById(field).setSelectionRange(0, content1.length);
document.getElementById(field).focus();
}
</script>

<input type="text" id="search">
<img src="someImage.jpg" onclick="sendText('search', 'FOO BAR')">

Does that help?
