Smilies insert position tweak

[linp]

If you're using IE4+, you can now insert smilies at the cursor position. Previously, smilies (:))will only be added at the end of your text. If you're using Netscape, sorry.

Let me know if there's any problems with it.

ps. Try not to use too many smilies in one post. I think we're all able to communicate without using cartoon faces.

And by the way - dont think that you can just come up in here and tell us how many smileys to use - new guy - we have our way with folks like that around here --- wait -- whats that?

You already did the hard part, Paul. Say you take the code written for the smilie function and make a new more generic function, like this:

function insertToTxt(txtAreaRef,strToAdd) {
if (txtAreaRef.createTextRange() && txtAreaRef.caretPos) {

var caretPos = txtAreaRef.caretPos;
caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? strToAdd + ' ' : strToAdd + " ";
}
else {
txtAreaRef.value += strToAdd + " ";
}
txtAreaRef.focus();
}


Then anywhere the code was previously doing string concatenation (ie. +=) it could be replaced with the function call for insertToTxt.

The new smilie function would look something like this:

function smilie(thesmilie) {
insertToTxt(document.vbform.message,thesmilie);
}

and the new VBcode function:

function vbcode(theform,vbcode,prompttext) {
// insert yyy style markup
if ((normalmode(theform)) || (vbcode=="IMG")) {
inserttext = prompt(tag_prompt+"\n["+vbcode+"]xxx[/"+vbcode+"]",prompttext);
if ((inserttext != null) && (inserttext != ""))
insertToTxt(theform.message,"["+vbcode+"]"+inserttext+"[/"+vbcode+"] ");
}
else {
donotinsert = false;
for (i = 0; i < tags.length; i++) {
if (tags[i] == vbcode)
donotinsert = true;
}
if (donotinsert)
stat("already_open");
else {
insertToTxt(theform.message,"["+vbcode+"]");
arraypush(tags,vbcode);
}
}
theform.message.focus();
}


Anyways, its late.. I'm sure I missed something in there. PM me if you want me to scratch out a new version of vbcode.js

you guys are computer nerds....

If I was that smart, I'd be all...

RunCode {InsertHotChik } =
function vbcode
(bigboobs,prettyface,nicebod ) {
// insert yyy style markup
if ((reallyhorny (theform)) || (vbcode=="IMG")) {
inserttext = prompt(hasownmoney _prompt+"\n["+vbcode+"]xxx[/"+vbcode+"]",prompttext);
if ((likestocook != null) && (inserttext != ""))
insertToTxt(loves.motorcycles ,"["+fatguys +"]"+inserttext+"[/"+vbcode+"] ");

Wow... that's great. It looks perfect to me. Now why didn't I think of that... Thanks!

Now users of IE4+ can insert URL, IMG, FONT, SIZE, etc at the position of the cursor.
