HTMLTextAreaElement - Web APIs 编辑

The HTMLTextAreaElement interface provides special properties and methods for manipulating the layout and presentation of <textarea> elements.

Properties

accessKeystring: Returns / Sets the element's accesskey attribute.
autocapitalize This is an experimental API that should not be used in production code.string: Returns / Sets the element's capitalization behavior for user input. Valid values are: none, off, characters, words, sentences.
autocomplete This is an experimental API that should not be used in production code.
autofocusboolean: Returns / Sets the element's autofocus attribute, indicating that the control should have input focus when the page loads
colsunsigned long: Returns / Sets the element's cols attribute, indicating the visible width of the text area.
defaultValuestring: Returns / Sets the control's default value, which behaves like the Node.textContent property.
disabledboolean: Returns / Sets the element's disabled attribute, indicating that the control is not available for interaction.
form Read onlyobject: Returns a reference to the parent form element. If this element is not contained in a form element, it can be the id attribute of any <form> element in the same document or the value null.
inputMode This is an experimental API that should not be used in production code.
maxLengthlong: Returns / Sets the element's maxlength attribute, indicating the maximum number of characters the user can enter. This constraint is evaluated only when the value changes.
minLengthlong: Returns / Sets the element's minlength attribute, indicating the minimum number of characters the user can enter. This constraint is evaluated only when the value changes.
namestring: Returns / Sets the element's name attribute, containing the name of the control.
placeholderstring: Returns / Sets the element's placeholder attribute, containing a hint to the user about what to enter in the control.
readOnlyboolean: Returns / Sets the element's readonly attribute, indicating that the user cannot modify the value of the control.
requiredboolean: Returns / Sets the element's required attribute, indicating that the user must specify a value before submitting the form.
rowsunsigned long: Returns / Sets the element's rows attribute, indicating the number of visible text lines for the control.
selectionDirectionstring: Returns / Sets the direction in which selection occurred. This is "forward" if selection was performed in the start-to-end direction of the current locale, or "backward" for the opposite direction. This can also be "none" if the direction is unknown.
selectionEndunsigned long: Returns / Sets the index of the end of selected text. If no text is selected, contains the index of the character that follows the input cursor. On being set, the control behaves as if setSelectionRange() had been called with this as the second argument, and selectionStart as the first argument.
selectionStartunsigned long: Returns / Sets the index of the beginning of selected text. If no text is selected, contains the index of the character that follows the input cursor. On being set, the control behaves as if setSelectionRange() had been called with this as the first argument, and selectionEnd as the second argument.
tabIndexlong: Returns / Sets the position of the element in the tabbing navigation order for the current document.
textLength Read onlylong: Returns the codepoint length of the control's value. Same as reading value.length
type Read onlystring: Returns the string textarea.
validationMessage Read onlystring: Returns a localized message that describes the validation constraints that the control does not satisfy (if any). This is the empty string if the control is not a candidate for constraint validation (willValidate is false), or it satisfies its constraints.
validity Read onlyValidityState object: Returns the validity states that this element is in.
valuestring: Returns / Sets the raw value contained in the control.
willValidate Read only

boolean: Returns whether the element is a candidate for constraint validation. false if any conditions bar it from constraint validation, including its readOnly or disabled property is true.

wrapstring: Returns / Sets the wrap HTML attribute, indicating how the control wraps text.
HTMLTextAreaElement.labelsRead onlyNodeList: Returns a list of label elements associated with this element.

The two properties tabIndex and accessKey are inherited from HTMLElement from HTML5 on, but were defined on HTMLTextAreaElement in DOM Level 2 HTML and earlier specifications.

Methods

blur()Removes focus from the control; keystrokes will subsequently go nowhere.
focus()Gives focus to the control; keystrokes will subsequently go to this element.
select()Selects the contents of the control.
setRangeText()Replaces a range of text in the element with new text.
setSelectionRange()Selects a range of text in the element (but does not focus it).
checkValidity()Returns false if the element is a candidate for constraint validation, and it does not satisfy its constraints. In this case, it also fires a cancelable invalid event at the control. It returns true if the control is not a candidate for constraint validation, or if it satisfies its constraints.
reportValidity()

This method reports the problems with the constraints on the element, if any, to the user. If there are problems, it fires a cancelable invalid event at the element, and returns false; if there are no problems, it returns true.

setCustomValidity(DOMstring)Sets a custom validity message for the element. If this message is not the empty string, then the element is suffering from a custom validity error, and does not validate.

The two methods blur() and focus() are inherited from HTMLElement from HTML5 on, but were defined on HTMLTextAreaElement in DOM Level 2 HTML and earlier specifications.

Events

Listen to these events using addEventListener() or by assigning an event listener to the oneventname property of this interface:

input event
Fires when the value of an <input>, <select>, or <textarea> element has been changed.

Examples

Autogrowing textarea example

Make a textarea autogrow while typing:

JavaScript

function autoGrow (oField) {
  if (oField.scrollHeight > oField.clientHeight) {
    oField.style.height = oField.scrollHeight + "px";
  }
}

CSS

textarea.noscrollbars {
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 300px;
  height: 100px;
}

HTML

<form>
  <fieldset>
    <legend>Your comments</legend>
    <p><textarea class="noscrollbars" onkeyup="autoGrow(this);"></textarea></p>
    <p><input type="submit" value="Send" /></p>
  </fieldset>
</form>

Insert HTML tags example

Insert some HTML tags or smiles or any custom text in a textarea.

JavaScript

function insertMetachars(sStartTag, sEndTag) {
  var bDouble = arguments.length > 1, oMsgInput = document.myForm.myTxtArea, nSelStart = oMsgInput.selectionStart, nSelEnd = oMsgInput.selectionEnd, sOldText = oMsgInput.value;
  oMsgInput.value = sOldText.substring(0, nSelStart) + (bDouble ? sStartTag + sOldText.substring(nSelStart, nSelEnd) + sEndTag : sStartTag) + sOldText.substring(nSelEnd);
  oMsgInput.setSelectionRange(bDouble || nSelStart === nSelEnd ? nSelStart + sStartTag.length : nSelStart, (bDouble ? nSelEnd : nSelStart) + sStartTag.length);
  oMsgInput.focus();
}

CSS

CSS to decorate the internal span to behave like a link:

.intLink {
  cursor: pointer;
  text-decoration: underline;
  color: #0000ff;
}

HTML:

<form name="myForm">
<p>[&nbsp;<span class="intLink" onclick="insertMetachars('&lt;strong&gt;','&lt;\/strong&gt;');"><strong>Bold</strong></span> | <span class="intLink" onclick="insertMetachars('&lt;em&gt;','&lt;\/em&gt;');"><em>Italic</em></span> | <span class="intLink" onclick="var newURL=prompt('Enter the full URL for the link');if(newURL){insertMetachars('&lt;a href=\u0022'+newURL+'\u0022&gt;','&lt;\/a&gt;');}else{document.myForm.myTxtArea.focus();}">URL</span> | <span class="intLink" onclick="insertMetachars('\n&lt;code&gt;\n','\n&lt;\/code&gt;\n');">code</span> | <span class="intLink" onclick="insertMetachars(' :-)');">smile</span> | etc. etc.&nbsp;]</p>
<p><textarea name="myTxtArea" rows="10" cols="50">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut facilisis, arcu vitae adipiscing placerat, nisl lectus accumsan nisi, vitae iaculis sem neque vel lectus. Praesent tristique commodo lorem quis fringilla. Sed ac tellus eros. Sed consectetur eleifend felis vitae luctus. Praesent sagittis, est eget bibendum tincidunt, ligula diam tincidunt augue, a fermentum odio velit eget mi. Phasellus mattis, elit id fringilla semper, orci magna cursus ligula, non venenatis lacus augue sit amet dui. Pellentesque lacinia odio id nisi pulvinar commodo tempus at odio. Ut consectetur eros porttitor nunc mollis ultrices. Aenean porttitor, purus sollicitudin viverra auctor, neque erat blandit sapien, sit amet tincidunt massa mi ac nibh. Proin nibh sem, bibendum ut placerat nec, cursus et lacus. Phasellus vel augue turpis. Nunc eu mauris eu leo blandit mollis interdum eget lorem. </textarea></p>
</form>

Maximum length and number of lines example

Create a textarea with a maximum number of characters per line and a maximum number of lines:

First, create a function that takes the text field and a key event as input and determines if any of the limits have been reached. If the limit has not been reached, it will return the key.

function checkRows(oField, oKeyEvent) {
  var nKey = (oKeyEvent || /* old IE */ window.event || /* check is not supported! */ { keyCode: 38 }).keyCode,

    // put here the maximum number of characters per line:
    nCols = 30,
    // put here the maximum number of lines:
    nRows = 5,

    nSelS = oField.selectionStart, nSelE = oField.selectionEnd,
    sVal = oField.value, nLen = sVal.length,

    nBackward = nSelS >= nCols ? nSelS - nCols : 0,
    nDeltaForw = sVal.substring(nBackward, nSelS).search(new RegExp("\\n(?!.{0," + String(nCols - 2) + "}\\n)")) + 1,
    nRowStart = nBackward + nDeltaForw,
    aReturns = (sVal.substring(0, nSelS) + sVal.substring(nSelE, sVal.length)).match(/\n/g),
    nRowEnd = nSelE + nRowStart + nCols - nSelS,
    sRow = sVal.substring(nRowStart, nSelS) + sVal.substring(nSelE, nRowEnd > nLen ? nLen : nRowEnd),
    bKeepCols = nKey === 13 || nLen + 1 < nCols || /\n/.test(sRow) || ((nRowStart === 0 || nDeltaForw > 0 || nKey > 0) && (sRow.length < nCols || (nKey > 0 && (nLen === nRowEnd || sVal.charAt(nRowEnd) === "\n"))));

  return (nKey !== 13 || (aReturns ? aReturns.length + 1 : 1) < nRows) && ((nKey > 32 && nKey < 41) || bKeepCols);
}

In the HTML we just need to hook our function to the `onkeypress` event and specify that our textarea does not accept pasting:

<form>
  <p>Textarea with fixed number of characters per line:<br />
    <textarea cols="50" rows="10" onkeypress="return checkRows(this, event);"
              onpaste="return false;"></textarea>
  </p>
</form>
