<input type='button' value='I' name='btnItalic' onclick='wrapText(document.getElementById(&#39;TheTextArea&#39;),&#39;<i>&#39;,&#39;</i>&#39;);'>   
<input type='button' value='U' name='btnUnderline' onclick='wrapText(document.getElementById(&#39;TheTextArea&#39;),&#39;<u>&#39;,&#39;</u>&#39;);'>   
<input type='button' value='IMG' name='btnImg' onclick='wrapText(document.getElementById(&#39;TheTextArea&#39;),&#39;<img src="&#39;,&#39;" />&#39;);''>   
<input type='button' value='URL' name='btnUrl' onclick='wrapText(document.getElementById(&#39;TheTextArea&#39;),&#39;&#39;,&#39;&#39;);'>

I don't get it.

You want the emoticons to show up in the textarea? Like the actual image?

I've made a box for my smilies and updated the bbcode to where my smile pictures are located but how can I link the smiles to add to the text box ?
