Hi...
I've seen code which changes a paragraph into a textarea (to allow it
to be edited)...by creating a brand new text area, inserting that into
the dom at the right place, and deleting the paragraph from the dom.
I.e. http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/cms.html
What I'm wondering is: is there some way to simplify this? Can I
just tell the paragraph to become a textarea?
I'm pretty sure the answer is no...but I want to make sure there is no
way.
Thanks 4 2177

I believe the answer is no. The tagName attribute is readonly http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Cor...l#ID-745549614

Thank you for the response.
Ahh...it's a tagname. I was wondering what it was called. Seems a
shame that you can't do this.
Is there a library that creates a new element and deletes the old
element as if you had just changed the tagname? So I can get the same
behavior transparently? sa*******@gmail .com wrote:

No, the attribute of the interface and the property of the implemented
object is called `tagName'.
I was wondering what it was called.
The attribute/property describes the type of the element represented by
the DOM object.
Seems a shame that you can't do this.
It isn't generally reasonable to do this. Different elements follow
different rules.

element as if you had just changed the tagname? So I can get the same
behavior transparently?
Probably yes.

You could write your own. Here is an incomplete starter example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function change(el) {
var ta = document.create Element('textar ea');
ta.rows = '10';
ta.cols = '70';
ta.innerHTML = el.innerHTML;
el.parentNode.r eplaceChild(ta, el);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p onclick="change (this);">
click <b>me</bto <i>change</ime to a textarea
</p>
</body>
</html>

I would like to know what change on textarea :
- when user change content with keyboard
- when user drag/drop some text to textarea
By what change, I mean for example, this kind of event :
- at offset 153
- user add this text "azerty"
Is there a way to do it with ECMA ? or perhaps with specific extension
of mozilla or IE ?

Hello, I am trying to detect whether a user entered text in a textarea
or hit the delete/backspace button (thus, erasing something). Once
that is detected, I would like to set "var bSaveRequired = true;". It
would be great if this function worked cross-browser -- IE 6.0 and
Firefox.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated, - Dave

If you've used the Google Gmail spell checker you know that it
'changes' the text area to another type of control that lets them show

simple, I just have no clue because I'm fairly new to DHTML. Any
examples would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to write a script that changes a textarea wrap realtime,
