Code On Button To Echo Tag, Help! by Joit(m): 3:40pm On Oct 31, 2008
Nairalanders, does anyone know the code to insert/echo tags in a textarea by just clicking specific buttons. E.g To echo <b></b> in a text area if I click Bold button.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
//created by Sawyerr Ken www.pctalknigeria.com
// Helpline messages, dis r the messages tht wld show in ya textbox

b_help = "Bold text: text  (alt+b)";
i_help = "Italic text: text  (alt+i)";
u_help = "Underline text: <u>text</u>";
w_help = "Insert URL: http://url or URL text  (alt+w)";

// Shows the help messages in the helpline window, shay u grab this part
function helpline(help) {

            document.post.helpbox.value = eval(help + "_help"wink;

}
</script>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>
  <form action="" method="post" name="post" id="post">
    <table border=0>
<tr>
  <td height="20"><input type="button" class="button" accesskey="b" name="addbbcode0" value=" B " style="font-weight:bold; width: 30px"  onClick="helpline('b')">
  <INPUT class=button onClick="helpline('w')" style="WIDTH: 40px; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" accessKey=w  type=button value=URL name=addbbcode16>

Hello Dual Core,

Thank you for the reply.

I am glad to tell you that the code works out well but each button message replaces the previous message. Can't there be a way by which each click will add to the previous button click message instead of replacing it, outright. E.g If I click Bold button in nairaland compose area, instead of it to replace the former text it will (code)add to it.

I need something like the nairaland compose area button function.

I expect your reply. Thanks
