Heres a rather simple Tutorial on how to add smillies and or htmltags in your textarea inputfield. Just picture this: You want people to fill out a (Comments / chat) textbox. And you want the users to be able to insert smillies and/or htmltags in the text just by cliking on the smillie image and use the buttons for the htmlTags. When doing so it will add the apropriate shortcode, which will later be replaced by the actual image and or htmlTag, after you have submitted the form. I also added a piece of code where you can add the text in a MS Access Database in this Case. It all works in combination with a simple Javascript.
