I have created a very small forum system and was going to add a BBCode system in it. I have created the bbcode system and it works fine. If i do the BOLD and all, it will work.

I want to create a button for IMG URL so when you click it, a prompt comes up and asks, whats the url for the image.

I got that far, but now my problem is how to get it into my textarea!

http://bigdog.csscob...forum/thread/2/

Scroll down on that page and you will see the button and the textarea.

my code so far is

function imageprompt()
{
	var imageurl=prompt("Enter Image URL","http://");
	if (imageurl!=null && imageurl!="")
	{
	   document.getElementByName("post").value="[img]" + imageurl + "[/img]";	
	 }
}

That doesn't work for some reason. Anyone wish to help will be great.

Add an id attribute and change getElementByName to getElementById, or use some fancier DOM

function imageprompt()
{
	var imageurl=prompt("Enter Image URL","http://");
	if (imageurl!=null && imageurl!="")
	{
	   document.quickreply.post.value = imageurl;
	 }
}

I can't say for sure how well that will work as my DOM is a bit rusty, but it gets the point across.

Thats. that worked great.

For future references for people searching, i used his code and if you want it to show whats in the textarea + the prompt, add a + infront of the =.

	   document.quickreply.post.value += imageurl;

Thanks again.
