I am trying to combine two functions into one in an interface. I have looked up div to input pages and yet to find the right answer.
The first function is used to construct a formula which translates it into a string format that is acceptable to another service.
The second function allows me to use an @mention type jQuery which triggers a list to select from as I type when I add a @ symbol in the text.
The problem I have is that the first function only works with a form input "text" and the second function only works if I make the input a div with contenteditable="true".
I have tried to make either function work with the properties of the other and its just no good.
What I think I want is a way of copying the value of the text box into the form input box when I click on Refresh Console button.
Additionally, I only want to show one of them, the one I type in. So that means I want to use the form input field but have it hidden.
Here's my code that has two independently working functions. Where it says "type an at sign here" type an @ and you will see the options. The input box which says "24 + 6 / 10 * 100" is controlling a function where the results are available in the console as 24|6|add|10|divide|100|multiply which is the expected result.
What I want to do is create a formula in the div text box like @net_value + @tax_value which are selectable at each point you add an at sign.
EDIT I have corrected some fundamental issues with the HTML but still have the same issue with a new one, box displays an extra box that I cannot get rid of no matter what I do.
