UvumiTools Textarea Plugin Description

JavaScript that will help you include a text area on your website for people to leave a comment or a feedback The UvumiTools Textarea is a basic textarea with a couple extra features, built with the Mootools Javascript Framework. Textarea doesn't have any WYSIWG formatting features, because we like to keep things simple. So it's just a basic element, the kind you would find in a comment form or a feedback page. UvumiTools Textarea Plugin features a fancy remaining countdown of how many characters are still available, which isn't really anything new, it just uses a nifty progress-style indicator instead of simply a number.NOTE: UvumiTools Textarea Plugin is licensed and distributed under the terms of the MIT License. Here are some key features of "UvumiTools Textarea Plugin": · Requires no Javascript knowledge: Simply call the script with the the id of the element you want to recieve a scrollbar --it's one line you code that you can copy/past from the How To section. · Requires no HTML preparation: The script will build the elements necessary for the scrollbar--they don't have to be there from the beginning cluttering up your well-structured code. · Non-obtrusive: Users who disable Javascript (real users, not bots) will still be able to scroll the content with regular scrollbars, unless you specified the opposite with CSS. · Cross-Browser Compatible: Tested in the major browsers: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari. · Cutomizable with CSS: It's the whole point of those scrollbars, you can make them look how you want, you can have huge buttons if that's what you like. You want bloody skulls instead of nice little arrows? just change the buttons' background images. · Displays only the necessary scrollbars: If no scrollbar is needed horizontally, the horizontal scrollbar won't be generated. Same thing vertically. · Can be updated:If the scrollable content is modified, you can call the scrollbar update() function which will adjust the scrollbars to the new content, eventually adding or removing them. Requirements: · A website where you can include javascripts: Sounds obvious, but some platforms don't allow users to include tags. If you are your own webmaster, you're set. Otherwise, send a link to this page to your webmaster. · A valid unordered list: By "valid", we mean one that satisfies the standards of a strict doctype. · Mootools 1.2: To use this plugin you'll need Mootools 1.2, but if you are already using another javascript framework like Prototype or JQuery, you may have to decide which one you want to keep because those frameworks were not designed to work togeth · Mootools Dependencies What's New in This Release: · Fixed two big bugs. We are surprised no one complained about those, because they become kind of obvious when you start using this textarea in a real situation. · First one was a big issue when writing some HTML in the textarea : to evaluate the new size of the textarea, we were pasting the content into a dummy element, positioned offscreen. If you put any HTML here, it get rendered. Not only the new size is completly wrong, but it's also not very safe because you can paste a tag and execute its content. Yes, it was pretty much an invitation to Cross-Site Scripting. But it's fixed now, it's totally safe and the new height evaluation is more accurate. · The second bug happened when you reached the maximum height of the textarea. The textarea's overflow property had to be switched from 'hidden' to 'auto', causing the cursor to automatically jump to the end of the text. If you are not already typing at the end of your text when this happens, but editing something in the middle instead, the cursor jumping thing is very annoying,especially if you don't notice it immediatly. We tried to fix that the best we could but without success. In the end, we decided to remove the maximum height option because it was causing more problems than anything. Oh, and we made the whole character limit/counter optional. Checkout the doc above.
