how can i do this?

sorry but i dont know what this bar is calld, that one which follows up along typing.

i wrote my own little code for my forum, but i wonder how i can set the BAR to be anywhere i want ..

 

thank you !!

To get the bar to be on whatever form element you want, it is .focus(); using javascript on a form element. It will set the focus to that item.

 

Hope that helps.

ok i grasped it.

but what i actually want is something like when user clicks on B that will be in the input so the bar should be inside &

thank you !!

yes !!

well my basic bbcode function is like this :

 

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

function smiley(text) {
        document.reply.message.value = document.reply.message.value += text;
        document.reply.message.focus(); // i added this when premiso told me about the function but still need more funcionality
}
</script>

 

something like when the bbcode is [ b ] [ /b ], the caret as u told me which i never knew its name should be between [ b ] & [ /b ]

i hope this is good explanation to what i want to do.

thank you

okay, you still aren't making any sense.  At best, you are talking as if I'm sitting in front of your computer screen with you pointing at stuff. Well I'm not, so I have no idea what you are talking about, because I don't know the context of your situation. 

 

Are you talking about for example, when I am making a post on a forum, if I click on for example the "bold" button, it auto-inserts the bbcode where my caret is?
