OK I did a search on this too. I would like to add more format buttons and since I have HTML on (yes I know security risk)
Q:What is the java code for making the button insert text into the text area? I didn't want to take apart the code. I thought it would take less time to 1)search the forums and/or 2)ask someone how to do it.
Thanks!

Nikkol - Is it hard to drop the "god" attitude? I would epxect mroe from a "senior" member. No one forced you to reply.
I am asking because the .js code is intermixed with other info format mode for help etc...

Since you put it that way, then I'll let someone else dissect the code for you. |

I will suggest some introspection as to "attitudes". There is an old saying in the US "you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar".
Nikkol posts here regularly and helps many, many, many people, and IMHO gave you a reasonable response. Your reply to Nikkol may not induce many others to jump in with helpful replies :)
btw, I have no idea what the answer is, I actually don't understand your question.

Just looking for Javascript that makes a button insert your desired text into a text area. Again I am asking becuase I already see the code but there is other code mixed in with it based on the level of help that you ask for when you make a new post. I just wanted the very simple code.
BTW Why isn't subscribe to topic turned on?

It is very simple code. Take a good look at the code and concentrate for a moment. You will see a function begin then a lot of code then all of a sudden another function begins. Since you are the one that knows what you want you will find it useful to try and figure out how it works. It is not rocket science. And what you said to Nikkol was uncalled for. Encouraging people to figure things out is not a "god complex" at all but a subtle way of helping in a way that is ultimately the best help.
And some of the old timers here are, though I definately don't speak for them, generally quicker to help people that are polite, have obviously searched for answers and tried what they could. Asking for help should be one of the last stages in help seeking and being impolite about it is not one of the stages.

Instantnet11, before I actually help you, I will also repeat what the others have said in this post. Your reply to Nikkol was uncalled for and quite impolite. She is respected here among the snitz community and someone who helps out a lot answering questions.
That said, lets move on. The javascript code is quite easy to dissect. The AddText() javascript function is what adds the text to the text box. This function is called by the other functions, depending on which button you pressed.
For instance, if you pressed the  it calls the Bold() javascript function. The bold() function then sends the format code text [b] [/b] to the AddText() function which sends it to the message box.
So the forum code you see in the javascript is the text each function is sending to the message box.
Hope that explains things. |
