Insert text into parent window form

[Mhtml]

Why doesn't the following code work to insert the emoticon text into the message field in my shoutBox? :mad::confused::(


function emoticon(theEmoticon){
if (opener.shoutForm.Mess.value=='Message';){
opener.shoutForm.Mess.value=theEmoticon;
}else{
opener.shoutForm.Mess.value+=theEmoticon;
}
}

Judging by where the ;) got inserted into your code above, I'd say there's a ; in there that ought to be removed.

OMG, over an hour of pulling my hair out and it was a little semi colon.

Thanks Roy, it works now. :):D

how would that be reconfigured to put plain text in the form parent window ...? like say, with a checkbox?

example: click here if you prefer i write the summary?

upon click text comes up as "You do it" in a textarea. where do i put it?

I'm unsure what you mean.. I'm not really with it today so it's probably obvious but can you explain it a bit more. . .
