jQuery - google chrome won't get updated textarea value
- by Phil Jackson
Hi, I have a textarea with default text 'write comment...'. when a user updates the textarea and clicks 'add comment' Google chrome does not get the new text. heres my code;
function add_comment( token, loader ){
$('textarea.n-c-i').focus(function(){
if( $(this).html() == 'write a comment...' ) {
$(this).html('');
}
});
$('textarea.n-c-i').blur(function(){
if( $(this).html() == '' ) {
$(this).html('write a comment...');
}
});
$(".add-comment").bind("click", function() {
try{
var but = $(this);
var parent = but.parents('.n-w');
var ref = parent.attr("ref");
var comment_box = parent.find('textarea');
var comment = comment_box.val();
alert(comment);
var con_wrap = parent.find('ul.com-box');
var contents = con_wrap .html();
var outa_wrap = parent.find('.n-c-b');
var outa = outa_wrap.html();
var com_box = parent.find('ul.com-box');
var results = parent.find('p.com-result');
results.html(loader);
comment_box.attr("disabled", "disabled");
but.attr("disabled", "disabled");
$.ajax({
type: 'POST', url: './', data: 'add-comment=true&ref=' + encodeURIComponent(ref) + '&com=' + encodeURIComponent(comment) + '&token=' + token + '&aj=true', cache: false, timeout: 7000,
error: function(){ $.fancybox(internal_error, internal_error_fbs); results.html(''); comment_box.removeAttr("disabled"); but.removeAttr("disabled"); },
success: function(html){
auth(html);
if( html != '<span class="error-msg">Error, message could not be posted at this time</span>' ) {
if( con_wrap.length == 0 ) {
outa_wrap.html('<ul class="com-box">' + html + '</ul>' + outa);
outa_wrap.find('li:last').fadeIn();
add_comment( token, loader );
}else{
com_box.html(contents + html);
com_box.find('li:last').fadeIn();
}
}
results.html('');
comment_box.removeAttr("disabled");
but.removeAttr("disabled");
}
});
}catch(err){alert(err);}
return false;
});
}
any help much appreciated.
