Select content
Hello all!
I've waited for someone to post about this problem, but as I see nobody noticed this, or maybe that's not a problem at all. For me it is not a big problem too, but it's quite annoying. So, it's about "Select content" button. When I push that button, then copy selected text and paste it anywhere, I always get four extra spaces (not line-breaks, just spaces) at the beginning of the code. It happens on my forum, and on this forum too. It never happened earlier, while I was using old JavaScript code for that button. But one day it stopped working, and I got new JS. Here it is:
My question is, does this have any solution, or it is normal for select content function to act like that? If there is any way to fix it, I'll be very grateful for your ansvers. Any help appreciated!

It happens on my forum, and on this forum too. It never happened earlier, while I was using old JavaScript code for that button. But one day it stopped working, and I got new JS. Here it is:
- Code:
function selectCode(a){a=$(a).closest("dl").find(".cont_code,code")[0];if(window.getSelection){var c=window.getSelection();if(c.setBaseAndExtent)c.setBaseAndExtent(a,0,a,a.innerText.length-1);else{window.opera&&a.innerHTML.substring(a.innerHTML.length-4)=="<BR>"&&(a.innerHTML+=" ");var b=document.createRange();b.selectNodeContents(a);c.removeAllRanges();c.addRange(b)}}else document.getSelection?(c=document.getSelection(),b=document.createRange(),b.selectNodeContents(a),
c.removeAllRanges(),c.addRange(b)):document.selection&&(b=document.body.createTextRange(),b.moveToElementText(a),b.select())}
$(function(){
$("dl.codebox:not(.spoiler,.hidecode) > dd.code, dl.codebox:not(.spoiler,.hidecode) > dd > code").closest("dl").find('dt').append('<span onClick="selectCode(this)" class="selectCode">Select content</span>');
});
My question is, does this have any solution, or it is normal for select content function to act like that? If there is any way to fix it, I'll be very grateful for your ansvers. Any help appreciated!

Re: Select content
Hi,
Just to confirm, you click the 'select content' button and copy the content and then paste it and you get 4 spaces at the start of code. In this case the four spaces would appear before the word function, in the code above?

Re: Select content
Yes, this is exactly what happens. I made a screenshot:
I've copied and pasted random content, and in the beginning, where I highlighted red, you can see space, which I'm talking about. Just now I have noticed, that when I post the selected content, the spaces dissapear. So maybe it's not a big deal, I'm just a little confused, because this never happened with the old JS I've used.

Re: Select content
When you send the post does the spaces appear in the final post?

Re: Select content
It could be a possible browser issue because when I copy/paste the selected content I don't actually get spaces. I use Google Chrome.

Yes, the problem is within your browser. I checked your profile and saw that you're using Firefox, i try it on the same browser and i am currently experiencing the same problem.

Re: Select content
I am using Firefox, also. It does add spaces, but the final post does not have the spaces.

SLGray, no, the spaces doesn't appear in the final post.
And yes, I use Mozilla, never thought that this could be browser-related. Thank you guys for clearing this up for me! Solved
