Steppio Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 How the devil would i go about putting one of these lovely forms that im using to type this question into a website? I already have the form to put the information into the database and that works, but what of all these lovely buttons /emoticons above? Is this PHP or something totally different?

obsidian Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 javascript. Indeed javascript is the lifeblood of those "additional" features to the forms, but only as far as inserting the code for the different options into your actual text field. It still is going to be up to you, using PHP or other scripting language, to display those codes appropriately on the final display page.

wildteen88 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 If you want to create an editor like this search google for BBCode editors. The editor uses javascript to insert the bbcodes in to the textarea. However in order to parse the BBCodes that will require PHP. Look in to the regex board and you see a few topics about BBCode parsers.

Steppio Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thank you very much, i'll look into the BBCode editor. Edit - I dont intend to use this function for a forum, i have a page that members of the site can add articles to the news database, i only really need it for formatting, does this make any difference on how complicated the editor will be to make?

obsidian Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 http://www.htmlarea.com/ I've had numerous bad experiences with HTMLArea, both on browser support and generated code. I much prefer TinyMCE over HTMLArea. I think there are others who will agree with this as well.
