Okay, I need a bit of Javascript (that I will be adding to a larger script) that will take the last four characters of the URL of the page it's on and put each one in a separate variable. I will give you credit for helping with it.

It's done. You can click the link at the top of my space to try it. What I'd really like to do is make a "smiley toolbar" with a couple of frames, where you type in the smiley code and it loads the smiley in a tiny frame off to the side, and then have a bookmarklet to launch it. There's also smileyonly.html, which has the script to load the smiley and nothing else.

Can't do that easily, because I'm using actual images. Sorry. But the codes can be typed into forums (nnLJ).

Already using it in threads and spreading the word
Can you make it case insensitive though

I could, but it would involve re-uploading the files with different filenames, since I don't think I can make copies of files with my webspace provider.

Sounds 
, updating files should be easy, aren't you using FTP to upload them?

No, it has a web upload interface. FTP sounds like a good idea, though, I'll see if I can do that.

Why don't you just use the .toLowerCase() or .toUpperCase() methods. eg:
...
var loc=window.location.href;
loc.toLowerCase();
...
Then you could just have the files with any characters defined by the script as lowercase (or uppercase if you wish)

Venus: Um, could you please be a bit more specific? "it's not working" isn't a very helpful bug report. What exactly is not working about it?
