I've got a problem... You know, I come across scripts from time time which I modify to my suits. Now I've found a nice script which enables you to put not just a smiley at the End of a message text, you can insert it to your cursor position
(perhaps you see what I mean when you try the smilies here: icon tutorial above the text area... )

So far so nice. IE and Opera are doing well... my problem is Firebird.. when I click the smilies nothing but the cursor is inserted. why?

Hey Ed I love the new look/layout and color scheme, it's excellent
Now to get back to your prob... wait I havn't finished admireing the new look yet

why didn't that work when we tried last year?

Now it does. Don't ask me...

Code: document.getElementById("postform").message.value += (' <img src="'+ icon +'" />');

About the Firebird Problem with document.selection.createRange()...
well.. I'm back to the old-fashioned. Insert-at-the-End-of-message thing.

Note to self: Don't work with a script which you do not understand entirely.


Is your cellar there dry again after that rain?

haa... I just looked over some old scripts and I had used "getElementById" for a little while for detecting the form (postform).

Why not use "navigator.appName" to determine wheather "selection.createRange()" can be used

Within 2-3 hours the water had gone.
Felt sorry for the nabour who had only moved in 2 days prior, one off them just moved to new zealand the same day they moved in and all she could say was "I want to go home"

According to firebird there is no Selection properties... don't know if that means its not implimented
I went to my proboards forum which uses this code and when in firebird, they have it insert at the end of the text.

This will take a bit of searching... I'm doing a google and well I Don't know

found this bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=89748&action=view if this will help with ideas

Ed. I noticed on your no_right_click page why its not validating correctly...
Replace the "&" with "&" in the url links with "&" in them

& amp.. Woohooo !!! GREAT ! That page too is valid now, thanks to your genius!
