You would need to use javascript for that. As you know, this is the way on how to make a drop down list, along with the "chatbox" that you want:
code
<form name="test">
<textarea name="testbox" cols="50" rows="5">
Place text here
</textarea>
<select>
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
<option>Option 3</option>
<option>Option 4</option>
</select>
</form>
To be able to add to the textarea, you have to use this code:
code
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function addToBox(txt) {
//get the form
//in this case, the forms name is "test"
var frm = document.test;
//get the current content of the textarea
//in this case, the textareas name is "testbox"
var chatboxvalue = frm.testbox.value;
//add the text you want to add to the textarea
frm.chatbox.value = chatbox + txt;
return;
}
//-->
</script>
and place between the <head></head> tags.
For that to run, you have to change your HTML a bit:
code
<form name="test">
<textarea name="testbox" cols="50" rows="5">
Place text here
</textarea>
<select>
<option onClick=addToBox("[option1 added]")>Option 1</option>
<option onClick=addToBox("[option2 added]")>Option 2</option>
<option onClick=addToBox("[option3 added]")>Option 3</option>
<option onClick=addToBox("[option4 added]")>Option 4</option>
</select>
</form>
Now, placing highlighted text between tags is another thing, and involves a more complicated script.
They have tutorials on how to make the drop down boxes, I used them since they are useful yet easy to make

I want to make a drop-box like the Font color box. That isn't hard to do but how do I make it that when you select a option (per exaple Red) that it pastes it into the message box. This is the Chatbox<- No more I would like a drop-box that puts a smiley into the message box.
I tried Google, Altavista, the forum search and a site listed in the Helpful Links and Links Requests tread...
Weh..
