Too... many... smilies!!

[cgranade]

Okay... perhaps someone will get on my case for overusing elipsies (...'s) but I see way too much use of smilies on the Net these days. I do not recall ever using a smiley, nor do I plan on it. As I once read:

Shakespeare said: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Not:
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet .

I just noticed it, but if you use Mozilla browser you can drag the Emoticons' underlying link into the text message box!

That is - mouse over the emoticon on the left, then left click-and-hold, then drag the selected emoticon into the message area where you are editing the text.

Now you do not get just the phpBB code for the emoticon, but you also get the complete anchor data. that is :

Code: Select all

javascript:emoticon(':D')
javascript:emoticon(':D')

The underlying code is :

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:emoticon(':D')"><img src="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" border="0" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" onclick="emoticon(':D');return false" hspace="2" vspace="2" /></a>

This does not work in Microsoft Internet Explorer, so a template would need to recognize the browser and change the code from the above to simply

Code: Select all

<a href=":D"><img src="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" border="0" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" hspace="2" vspace="2" /></a>

Or something similar...

With Netscape you get:

Code: Select all

javascript:emoticon(':D')
Very Happy
