I recently installed Mike's File Attachment Mod so that users could include images in their post, but
i run across a problem with it that someone here might be able to help with (not a mod issue, but more of a development issue). It uses a pop-up window to display the upload option, etc. and then inserts the code to display the image in the message window. This works for IE, but not with netscape. I would like to know the proper way to have a pop-up window insert something into a message window as this could be useful for many things other than just that mod. I'm sure that an older version of the forums use to do the smiles this way (you could click them in the pop-up window to insert them into the message window) and it worked with netscape, but I can't seem to find anything that'll work. |

| that popup window is still there in v3.4.03. Just disable the Smilie table in the Admin options and the icon for that popup will show up on the Post page. |

So the code is in pop_icon_legend.asp?
Does a window have to be opened with Javascript to allow for pasteing code back into the message window (in all browsers)? |

Yes, the code is in the pop_icon_legend.asp file.
I am not 100% sure about your second question, but most likely you would.
Basically Javascript uses opener to specify the window to post the info back to. |

That's what i was curious about. Having features available when making a post. These features open a pop-up window and your selections or actions in the pop-up window determine what gets pasted or added back into the message box in your main browser window (no matter which browser you use). Opening a window with Javascript seems about the only way to accomplish this for all browsers. |

homeacademy posted a solution in another forum.
quote:
<script>
if (opener.document.PostTopic.Message.createTextRange && opener.document.PostTopic.Message.caretPos) {
var caretPos = opener.document.PostTopic.Message.caretPos;
caretPos.text = "*** put code for attachment/image insertation HERE ***";
} else {
opener.document.PostTopic.Message.value+="*** put code for attachment/image insertation HERE ***";
}
</script>
Just replace the *** put code for attachment/image insertation here *** with the code you want inserted into the post. Hope this solution works out for everyone.
I've tested it and it works with netscape 4.7, 6.0 and 7.0 and IE 6.0
Now, anytime I want to create a pop-up window that inserts something I can use that code sniplet. |

Can you post an example of what the image insetion code would look like that would replace:
"*** put code for attachment/image insertation HERE ***"
Thanks |

DJBBIZ. that was in reference to a mod posted here.
What I was talking about in this post is a way to post something from
a pop-up window (code, text, etc.) back into the message window and
have it work in all browsers.
For example, using the code posted above if I had a pop-up window
that had a varible named "InstockImages" that held a url of an image
and I wanted this pop-up to insert this back into the message window
as an image it would look something like:
<script>
if (opener.document.PostTopic.Message.createTextRange && opener.document.PostTopic.Message.caretPos) {
var caretPos = opener.document.PostTopic.Message.caretPos;
caretPos.text = "[img]" & InstockImages & "[/img]";
} else {
opener.document.PostTopic.Message.value+="[img]" & InstockImages & "[/img]";
}
</script> |
