Hi Guys,

This more a javascript problem.  I had this problem a while ago.  But here is a small example of what I have.

I will post some more code example in a few hours.  Off to bed now.  But that links should get you started.

This should be in the Javascript section:

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
    <!--
    function Smiles(which) {
    document.post.omsg.value = document.post.omsg.value + which;
    }
    
    //-->
    </SCRIPT>
        <textarea name="omsg" cols="50" rows="6"></textarea>

<A HREF="javascript:Smiles('')"><img src="../images/smilies/timeout.gif" BORDER=0 alt=""></A>

 

This is just an example.  You will have to make some small changes of your own for it to work.

Forgot to add this for the output

 

$message = nl2br($omsg); 
        include "replacesmile.inc";
        echo $message;

The replacesmile.inc includes this:

$message = str_replace("", "<IMG SRC='../images/smilies/smiley.gif'>", $message);
