This was the button:

PHP Code:

<img src="$skin_icon_url/quote.gif" title="Copy highlighted text to new message" alt="Copy highlighted text to new message" border="0" height="16" onMouseDown="copy_selection('$message->{author}','<#date $message->{time} format "$L{LONGDATE}"#>','#POST$message->{number}')" onMouseOver="javascript:if (style) style.cursor = 'pointer';"> 


and this was in the skin:

PHP Code:

function copy_selection(message_author,post_date,link_post,author_profile) { 
     if (document.getSelection) { 
       //for Netscape 
       var str = document.getSelection(); 
       document.userpass.message.value+="\\quote_with_link{"+message_author+","+post_date+","+link_post+","+message_author+","+str+"}"; 
       document.userpass.message.focus(); 
     } else if (document.selection) { 
       //for Internet Explorer 
       var str = document.selection.createRange().text; 
       document.userpass.message.value+="\\quote_with_link{"+message_author+","+post_date+","+link_post+","+message_author+","+str+"}"; 
       document.userpass.message.focus(); 
       var rng = document.userpass.message.createTextRange(); 
       rng.collapse(false); 
       rng.select(); 
     } else { 
       //display message if browser does not support above methods.
       window.alert("Your browser does not support this feature"); 
       return; 
     } 
   }
