Description | Use the dropChunk function within a dragDrop handler to find out exactly where text was dropped into a field. The dropChunk function only returns a value while a dragDrop handler is being executed: that is, you can use it in a dragDrop handler or in a handler that's called by a dragDrop handler. If called from another handler, the dropChunk function returns empty. The dropChunk function designates an insertion point rather than a run of characters. For example, if you drop text between characters 3 and 4 of field number 1, the dropChunk function returns "char 4 to 3 of field 1". | ||||||
