My target is to click button and cursor will pop up on word assinged to given button. I have tried everything i can available online. but nothing worked. I'm in initial phase of learning javascript. I'm working on blog project and i need to insert extra code at this given postions thats why cursor need to set there. It will save time.
<script type="text/javascript">
function StringSearch(clicked_id)
{
if (clicked_id == 'top6-button-1') {
var SearchTerm = 'item-1-end' ;
// block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (clicked_id == 'top6-button-2') {
var SearchTerm = 'item-2-end' ;
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else if (clicked_id == 'top6-button-3') {
var SearchTerm = 'item-3-end' ;
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
} else if (clicked_id == 'top6-button-4') {
var SearchTerm = 'item-4-end' ;
} else if (clicked_id == 'top6-button-5') {
var SearchTerm = 'item-5-end' ;
} else if (clicked_id == 'top6-button-6') {
var SearchTerm = 'item-6-end' ;
} else {
var SearchTerm = 'comparing-list-end' ;
}
var TextSearch = document.getElementById("top6-initial-code").value;
if (SearchTerm.length > 0 && TextSearch.indexOf(SearchTerm) > -1) {
TextSearch.value = TextSearch.value + "\n";
TextSearch.setSelectionRange(TextSearch.value.length, TextSearch.value.length);
TextSearch.focus();
} else {
alert("No Data found in Text Area");
}
}
