Note: This mod only work in IE4 and later, it does not work with Netscape sorry.
Update: added a simple browser check, if user's browser is not IE4 then the format button will behave like the old way (it insert code at the end of the text entry area)
Snitz version SR4
This allow you insert the formating codes or smilie at the right cursor position. You also can highlight and format a block of text.
Files change:
Post.asp
inc_post_buttons.asp
pop_icon_legend.asp
Instruction:
Modify to Post.asp:
Search for this line:
<textarea cols="<%=intCols %>" name="Message" rows="<%=intRows %>" wrap="VIRTUAL">
Replace with this:
<textarea cols="<%=intCols %>" name="Message" rows="<%=intRows %>" wrap="VIRTUAL"
ONSELECT="storePos(this);"
ONCLICK="storePos(this);"
ONKEYUP="storePos(this);"
ONDBLCLICK="storePos(this);"
>
Modify to pop_icon_legend.asp:
Find these code at the start of the page:
<script language="Javascript">
<!-- hide
function insertsmilie(smilieface){
window.opener.document.PostTopic.Message.value+=smilieface;
}
// -->
</script>
Replace with this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide
if (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == '4' && navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
bok = true
else
bok = false
// End -->
</script>
<script language="Javascript">
<!-- hide
function insertsmilie(smilieface){
if (bok){
opener.document.PostTopic.Message.focus();
opener.document.PostTopic.Message.onclick();
var caretPos = opener.document.PostTopic.Message.caretPos;
opener.document.PostTopic.Message.caretPos.text = smilieface;
window.document.focus();
}
else {
window.opener.document.PostTopic.Message.value+=smilieface;
}
}
// -->
</script>
Download and overwrite your inc_post_buttons.asp
with this file: inc_post_buttons.asp
If you have smilie mode install, you will need to modify your current inc_post_buttons.asp file. It is a simple and straight forward job if you take time to study my inc_post_buttons.asp file.
Thats it :)
If you have netscape and test this please let me know how bad it turn out :P
Note about graphic icons: all my button icons locate in the directory /images/ please create and copy yours.
extra icon: icon_editor_bullet.gif 
right click and save the picture to your folder.

eve, great job!
I made one small change so that text you enter in the javascript boxes will also get inserted at the cursor position instead of at the end:
This is in your inc_post_buttons.asp on line #63
replace this:
AddTxt=startmycode+txt+endmycode;
AddText(AddTxt);
with this:
var caretPos = mytext.caretPos;
caretPos.text=startmycode + txt + endmycode; |

<textarea cols="<%=intCols %>" name="Message" rows="<%=intRows %>" wrap="VIRTUAL">
I only find this one:
<textarea cols="70" name="Message" rows="10" wrap="VIRTUAL"> |

StockholmStudent,
Do a quick check:
1. look in your Post.asp for this line:
<form action="post_info.asp" method="post" name="PostTopic">
2. Paste the line:
<textarea cols="<%=intCols %>" name="Message" rows="<%=intRows %>" wrap="VIRTUAL"
exactly as it is
3. Your browser must be IE 4.xx or about, no netscape
The red bits are important as the function need the form and field name to work.

eve,
I made one other small change. Instead of having the faq.asp popup when someone chooses help, I made the following change so that it will still popup the alert boxes:
in inc_post_buttons.asp :
(in this example I am using the one for bold)
change this:
<a href="Javascript:if (bok) insertMyCode(document.PostTopic.Message, document.PostTopic.mytext,'',''); else bold();">
to this:
<a href="Javascript:if (helpstat) bold(); else if (bok) insertMyCode(document.PostTopic.Message, document.PostTopic.mytext,'',''); else bold();">
