• Accurate_BBCode_Insertion_Mod.mod

Why I wrote this mod ------------------------------------------------------ Usually, when a user wants to insert BBCode at a specific location while typing his post, he has to type and select the text he wants to apply the BBCode to first, and then apply the BBCode to the selected text. When you try to just insert a BBCode-tag, it will appear at the end of the post, and not at the caret position. This can be quite annoying.

What it does ------------------------------------------------------ It changes the way BBCode is inserted in a post into a more natural way. When you click a BBCode-button, the tag will appear at the same place you where typing instead of at the bottom of the post. If the caret isn't inside the message field, the tag will appear where the user has lastly placed the caret inside the message field.

It won't alter the way BBCode is applied to selections, this worked well already.

It won't alter the behaviour of the 'Close all tags' button. All tags are are still closed at the bottom of the post when a user clicks this button.

If the client's browser doesn't support the technology to insert BBCode accuratly, it will be placed the old-fashioned way.

The javascript function used to insert the code is (almost) identical to the function wich is used for emoticons, so it behaves in almost the same way. It won't put any spaces around your tag though, which does happens with emoticons.
