hi,

i want to search a word in reverse manner from cursor position in HTML textbox.

also i want to get a string from 0 to cursor position. 

anybody know??? 

Hi,

Take alook at these tutorials on Javascript, use negative index numbers to select from the end of the string:

Not sure if this is exactly what you wanted but I hope it helps.

Try Googling textRange.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// elementId: 'TextArea1', etc...
// wordSelection: 0 = first word, 1 = second word, etc...
function textAreaSetSelection(elementId, wordSelection)
{
 var elementRef = document.getElementById(elementId);
 var textRange = elementRef.createTextRange();

 textRange.moveStart('word', wordSelection);

 // The second parameter in moveEnd needs to be a minus value to only hilite one word...
 textRange.moveEnd("word", -10);

 textRange.select();
}
// -->
</script>

NC...
