Hi List,
I have a working FlashComm chat programme, dedicated to online counselling.
It's been up and running for over half a year now, but now the client wants
me to add some new features, one of which is emoticons.
I'm using the TextArea for the history component and formatting the text
with html, so I thought adding the emoticons would be a simple matter of
using the <img> tag in the TextArea. But it doesn't want to work that way -
the emoticons are not displayed inline, but at the beginning of the next
line, wrapping the following text around them.
I need to find a way to to make them display in the same way as a user would
expect from a chat application. I've done some research, but haven't found
anything suitable yet. I also don't want to use an emoticon font, because
the results are not what I'm looking for.
Any ideas? Is it possible to use a style sheet to position them correctly?
Or give all images ids to move them around? Would I need to overlay them on
top of the text? Nothing too complicated I hope, I've only estimated a
couple of days for the job...
Thanks,
Karina
