h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

try or or something like that...

It should be pretty easy: I'll try to work on it tonight. I'll probably put it off-site to reduce banner and button space grabbers.

<img src='smiley.gif' onclick="code.value='<SMILEY TYPE="smiley"/>'"> where code is the name of the text area.

Oh.. I know there are lots of ways of -creating- the popup.. The question is how the PTWVH are going to implement it. I'd like to see this reference as an easy click in the goo -and- as YAB on the Alabaster skin. My biggest concern was with the number of smilies we have now (as opposed to the , , , , and we had before.. (Hmm... don't recall does now work for ?)) that a handy-dandy reference would be a Really Nice Thing(tm) to have handy.

The suggestion was made by someone else.. I was just designing.. For fun and profit.

Yeah, but we could make it then 'throw it over the wall', as it where, to TPTB and basically say "Can you include *this* in the next release of h2g2".

I've been thinking about it, and it should be pretty easy: perhaps make two versions, one for fora and one for entries <smiley type="emoticon"/>

But wouldn't that be re-inventing the wheel? As I said above, most of the code is already on h2g2 because it's used in the main page. It should mostly be a matter of layout work, creating the button and adding it to the skins, and cutting, pasting, mildly modifying the code used on the main Smiley page.

I don't let IE anywhere -near- my machine, and as few 'parts' as absolutely necessary.

'Nonnie

Fair enough: although I do think Netscape is one of the worst browsers (as big as MSIE, as buggy as MSIE and Opera combined, as tolerant of bad HTML as the Ku Klux Klan are of non-whites)

I don't expaect a browser to be tolerant of bad code any more than I'd expect a program run on a VAX to understand that when the COBOL code says "Add 3 to 4 giving Answer" to know you wanted to get a string.

And I'm not using NS, I'm using Mozilla.

'Nonnie

(Nightlies, no less)

Yes, but the HTML spec demands they be partially compliant...
NS4.7 has bugs not in previous versions: completely cacks up my page.

4.7?!? NS6 is released, afaik! I never used 4.x ... Saw the very first version, went 'Yuk! This looks like IE!' and re-loaded 3.

'Nonnie

6 is beta, I think.

Have you tried it... it may work on your system...

I'm using Mozilla nightlies, so I -know- those are buggie.. but they're expected to be. I could be wrong, but the feeling I've been getting at the tinderbox (seamonkey) is that 6 is either released or else is very close. I know they're not putting a lot of the stuff that is 'fixed' in mozilla in 6 because they were afraid testing might prove it to have broken something else...

I don't remember what was posted up there, much less why it would have been completely removed.

Probably an over-zealot moderator in the beginning phaze of CS.
