== Placing the cursor after the section name ==

A long time ago, [[User_talk:Quarl/Archive_2006-02#User:Quarl.2Fauto_summary.js|Quarl and I discussed]] some user scripts and made a little snippet of code that, when you press ''tab'' to go to the Summary field, puts your cursor after the section name, so you can just start typing. It's a tremendously helpful little tweak, and now that I've removed Quarl's code from my monobook.js, I miss it. :-) It would be a good thing to implement site-wide, though. This was my version, though I think he improved on it in his Power Tools scripts:

<pre>

/* When the summary box is clicked, select only the part *after* the section title/place the cursor after the auto summary */

addOnloadHook(function () {

if (document.getElementById('wpSummary')) {

summary = document.getElementById('wpSummary');

function selectSummary() {

section = summary.value.match(/(?:\/\*(?:.*)\*\/)?\s*(?:«(?:.*)»)? ?/);

if (section) {

sectlen = section[0].length;

end = summary.textLength;

summary.setSelectionRange(sectlen,end);

}

}

summary.onclick = selectSummary;

}

});

</pre>

I don't know enough about JavaScript to follow his code, but I think this is equivalent:

<pre>

// auto focus

$autosummary._focusSummaryEvent = function(event) {

var sumField = document.editform.wpSummary;

if (sumField.value.match(/^(?:\/\*.*?\*\/)?\s*(?:«(?:.*)»)? ?/)) {

var n = RegExp.lastMatch.length;

var m = sumField.value.length;

// apparently you can't setSelectionRange in an onFocus handler, but

// you can set a timer to do it 0 seconds from now.

setTimeout(function() { sumField.setSelectionRange(n, m) }, 0);

}

}

</pre>

:Please check that code on multiple browsers; I think I remember something about selection code being different on IE and FireFox. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 11:21, 9 March 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

:: I don't know enough to check it for compatibility with all browsers and situations. I'm just proposing that someone with the knowledge include it site-wide. — [[User:Omegatron|Omegatron]] 03:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

:::Your version is a syntax error in IE6. Code shouldn't be added to the site-wide JS unless it works on ''all'' browsers! --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 14:45, 12 March 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])
