ShogunWarrior Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Your href would have to [b]href="javascript: document.selection.createRange().text='::smilie::'"[/b] as far as I know.

liam1412 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Thanks for your reply.This is now printing what I want - IE on click is printing ::smilie:: but just on a new page not in the text area.Any other clues.

franklyn Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 not sure if you've solved the problem yet try something like this[code]<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function AddEmo(tag){var emo=document.forms["THE id OF YOUR FORM"].elements["THE ID OF YOUR TEXT AREA"];emo.value+="::"emo.value+=tagemo.value+="::"}</script></head><body><img src="http://franklyn.ifastnet.com/News/emoticons/wink.png" onClick="AddEmo('wink')"></body></html>[/code]if you would like to use the same button on other form elements just pass the form id along with the emoticon name.

liam1412 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Okay that working now. But it will only go at the end and not where the cursor is. Do you know a fix for this at all or is it not possible with this method.Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34034-can-anyone-help-me-with-my-clickable-smilie-buttons/#findComment-160385 Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam1412 Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Its me again. I know im probably really pushing my luck here but have you any idea if this function can be adapted to wrap around tags ie place [b] [/b] in fromt of and at the end of highlighted text.

liam1412 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Look Im really sorry to bug you on this one again but I have added the code as you suggested. Everything works fine except it is not picking up the tag variableieThe line in my code reads[code]<img src="images/smilies/link.jpg" onclick="AddTag('[url]')">  [/code]Now unless im mistaken this should print[url][/url] into the txt box.What it is actually printing is [tag][/tag]DO I need to make a different function for every different type of tag I use.Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34034-can-anyone-help-me-with-my-clickable-smilie-buttons/#findComment-162524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
