textarea 替换html,替换html textarea

Try the below code.

var triggerTime;

$("#notes").keyup(function() { // notes is the id of the textarea

clearTimeout(triggerTime);

var myValue = $(this).val();

triggerTime = setTimeout(function(){

var regex = /\-([^\)]+)\-/gmi; // it gets the text between minus sign. Example: -text-

if(myValue.match(regex)){

var reference = myValue.match(regex);

$.ajax({

async: false,

type: "POST",

url: "scripts/script.php",

data: { "reference" : reference },

success: function(data) {

// I need to replace the text matched by the regex with data in the textarea.

// I need to stop the ajax calling after success or call it only if regex is matched

}

});

}

}, 3000);// Call request in 3 second

});

This is the optimized version of your code. it will wait for users to complete, and in inactivity of 3 seconds, it will generate an Ajax call.

you can change the frequency to 2000 OR 1000 (2 second and 1 second respectively).
