Could caret used for manipulating selected Text in a contentEditable element?
Get / set range, replace / insert text, start and end position?
I'm trying to get this module to work with Browserify but I'm failing to extend jQuery with the error Uncaught TypeError: $(...).caret is not a function
. Here's my code:
global.jQuery = require "jquery"
require "jquery.caret" # package.json -> "browser": { "jquery.caret": "./node_modules/jquery.caret/dist/jquery.caret.js" }
$ ->
console.log $("div").caret("position")
Where am I going wrong?
If someone will ned - I've used for contenteditable :
EditableCaret.prototype.setPos = function(pos) {
var inputor, range;
inputor = this.domInputor;
if ( oDocument.getSelection ) {
var selection = oDocument.getSelection(), node;
range = selection.getRangeAt( 0 );
var getNode = function ( node ) {
if ( node.childNodes.length > 0 ) {
for ( var i = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var childNode = getNode( node.childNodes[i] );
if ( length < pos )
continue;
return childNode;
}
} else if( node.nodeType === 3 ) {
length += node.nodeValue.length;
if( pos <= length && $( node ).closest( '*[contenteditable]' ).attr('contenteditable') == 'false' ){
pos += ( length - pos )+1;
}
return node;
}
}
if ( inputor.childNodes.length > 0 ) {
var length = 0;
for ( var i = 0; i < inputor.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
node = getNode( inputor.childNodes[i] );
if ( length < pos )
continue;
break;
}
if ( length < pos ) {
range.setEnd( node, node.nodeValue.length );
}
else {
range.setEnd( node, pos - length + node.nodeValue.length );
}
} else {
range.setEnd( inputor, Math.min( pos, inputor.nodeValue.length ) );
}
range.collapse( false );
selection.removeAllRanges();
selection.addRange( range );
} else if ( inputor.setSelectionRange ) {
inputor.setSelectionRange( pos, pos );
}
return inputor;
};
The Library doesn't work if the input (or contenteditable) is inside a shadow root since window.getSelection
doesn't work there (shadow_root.getSelection
would be the right method to be called)
something like this
Know how to solve this problem now, but no IE browsers yet.
Let me find an Windows first..= =
$("#inputor").caret("offset", 50);
$("#inputor").caret("position");
$("#inputor").caret("position", 12);
Hey there,
I've got an issue using the cursor position where it's incredibly wrong. I typed in the following
123456789 123456789
My cursor was at the end and it said it was at 33
The format of my code is a contentEditable div with a
inside so I can create line numbers using the :before psuedoelementIs there a reason why the cursor position is so wrong?
Thanks!
In http://ichord.github.io/Caret.js/ example, in the iframe editor, if we type more text so that an scroll bar appears, the position is not correct when scroll is at bottom.
Could you add version number of the script in copyright header like in At.js
Thank you
Is there an easy way how to make Caret.js + At.js work with CodeMirror or any other code editor? It doesn't seem they are contenteditable based.
First of all, awesome job. At.js worked amazingly; I really appreciate all your work!
I did find one small bug:
http://ichord.github.io/Caret.js/
Try typing out a sentence then add "&", for example. It should be easy enough to fix by converting &
to &
before writing it to the DOM.
Thanks again!
The check in jquery.caret.js#293 is done by doing
if (pos) {
...
}
So if pos is 0 it doesn't work, the check should be
if ( pos && pos !== 0) {
...
}
你好,感谢你的工作。
我使用Caret.js控制caret,在input 和 textarea里一切正常,在div里使用caret('pos', num)不能正常工作。
另外一个小问题是同样在div里,输入第一个字符时就不能使用caret('offset')获得caret的position,接着输入就没有问题。
不知道我说清楚了没有,谢谢。
It may take a long time....
Does someone have a d.ts file of this library?
Is it possible to use caret.js without jQuery. jQuery should be optional, not everyone uses jQuery.
Hi!
Simple demo on jsFiddle like this http://jsfiddle.net/gkalabin/LcCEw/ does't work in IE10:
SCRIPT5: Access is denied.
jquery.caret.js, line 133 character 9
Hello!
Here is a screenshot (there is no line breaks in textarea's content, the text is wrapped by the browser itself):
The problem is that you copy to mirror div just a substring(0, caretPos).
In case of the caret in long word (0123456789 in the screenshot) you will copy some part of the word (012). So in case of textarea the word is wrapped (there is no room for 0123456789), but in case of the mirror there is space for 012.
Seriously, I spent days trying to find the best solution to this problem, and you've just probably saved me another few weeks of bug fixing and tedious code.
Thank you for sharing your hard work, you're awesome :)
I've recently started using Caret.js in order to use atWho.js. I'm using it on a rails app and have installed it two ways. First using the jquery-atwho-rails gem, and then manually installing caret.js and atwho.js. Both times I'm getting the following error:
TypeError: $dom[0] is undefined
oDocument = $dom[0].ownerDocument;
It's happening here specifically on line 366:
configure = function($dom, settings) {
var error, iframe;
if ($.isPlainObject(settings) && (iframe = settings.iframe)) {
$dom.data('caret-iframe', iframe);
return setContextBy(iframe);
} else if (iframe = $dom.data('caret-iframe')) {
return setContextBy(iframe);
} else {
oDocument = $dom[0].ownerDocument;
oWindow = oDocument.defaultView || oDocument.parentWindow;
try {
return oFrame = oWindow.frameElement;
} catch (_error) {
error = _error;
}
}
};
Not sure what's causing that or how to fix it, any suggestions?
Caret.js works by creating a mirror of the textarea as a div and copies the CSS of the textarea.
In our application, we had CSS rules that is applying positioning on span's that Caret.js creates in the mirror div.
This causes caret.js to miscalculates the position of the caret. I will try to come up with a simple test case that illustrates the issue.

PS Thank you for your work!
Hello!
I have a textarea with font-size=14px, line-height=20px and padding=40px.
When I try to get top position of any character, I get 40 (padding) + linesBefore*20 + 2px
.
Here is a fiddle with demo: http://jsfiddle.net/gkalabin/aeHNj/
The output is
A position is {"left":40,"top":42,"height":16}
B position is {"left":40,"top":62,"height":16}
G position is {"left":40,"top":162,"height":16}
What are these 2 extra pixels? How can I get rid of them?
Also, If you change font-size then the extra can vary from -1 (18px) to 3 (12px)
When using on a div with contenteditable
, putting the cursor at the end of the content, then hitting enter a few times doesn't update the top caret position correctly.
Are there any plans for a .destroy() method that removes all events and elements created by Caret.js?
when mouseenter the iframe there's an error: SCRIPT5022: WrongDocumentError file: jquery.caret.js,line: 105,column: 13 in IE9-11
your At.js plugin provides the minified files in a dist/
folder. It would be great if you could do the same for caret.js (previously, I was not caring about it as jquery.atwho.js was including caret in the minified file)
Many of the files in the VCS repository are actually build artefacts: the JavaScript library is evidently generated from a CoffeScript source, for example.
Please document which files are mechanically generated, and the full procedure for generating them from source. The goal is to describe what a recipient needs to do to build from (maybe customised) source, the same way the maintainers do it.
Hi,
I've tried to use Caret on a textarea but it seems there's a bug in the calculation of the caret offset under Firefox and IE (it works fine under Chrome).
Tested versions : IE 11 and Firefox 28 under Windows
Firefox 32.0.3 under Linux
You can see the problem with the Caret demo
http://ichord.github.io/Caret.js/
Any ideas...
Best regards
Nemo
在 content editable div 中
Currently, Caret only fully supports textareas, because of a difference in input vs textarea. The biggest time you see this problem is when you type past the visible end of a text field (so your text scrolls left/right). Because of the expectation for it to behave like a textarea, the position calculations get thrown way off.
There probably needs to be a special code-path for text fields, where width is not applied to the mirror span's CSS, and it's treated as being "infinitely wide". From a quick test where width is just not applied, that seems to improve position detection.
Please make library available as bower package
There seems to be a bug when clicking directly before the first character in a ContentEditable element. After the click, the ContentEditable cursor disappears and a rogue character is inserted into the editor.
I think this has to do with trying to detach the shadow cursor in EditableCaret.prototype.getOffset method.
I'm trying to debug it and will roll in a patch if I can figure it out... just thought I'd add it as an issue here in case it's an easy fix that I'm missing.
Not talking about the ID, but the word in the README:
Get caret postion or offset from inputor
Does it mean text area + input type="text", or other input elements (contenteditable)?
Do you have any plans in releasing version of Caret.js that will not be dependent on jQuery?
Might be worth noting that it's probably IE9+ only, given the use of getBoundingClientRect
's width. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/getBoundingClientRect
Another problem with caret when I use it inside a CKEditor.
The caret method return the right value when caret is located anywhere in the editable zone except at the beginning of the lines (at the left side of the zone. In that case, the method return null.
The bug can be reproduced on the online demo :

I am getting an error when using this in IE. The error goes away if I qualify $inputor as this.$inputor, as below, but it doesn't put the box in the correct place.
Caret.prototype.getIEOffset = function(pos) {
var h, range, x, y;
range = this.domInputor.createTextRange();
if (pos) {
range.move('character', pos);
}
x = range.boundingLeft + this.$inputor.scrollLeft();
y = range.boundingTop + $(window).scrollTop() + this.$inputor.scrollTop();
h = range.boundingHeight;
return {
left: x,
top: y,
height: h
};
};
Got a "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'left' of undefined" on line 86 of jquery.caret.js.

The error occurs when i switch from the Textarea input to the contentEditable input.
Hi.
I have a problem when entering the Korean and Japanese characters in kontenteditavle.
The symbols are repeated if you press the arrow keys or space. You can will see on the page with a demonstration script
In the http://ichord.github.io/Caret.js/ example, in the textarea, if we select a text, when we do click to unselect the text by placing the cursor inside the selection bounds, the cursor will have a new position but the info box will not be updated.
How does Caret.js compare with the textarea-caret-position library in Component?
