It's not the javascript I want to get rid of, but instead those (most annoying) popup boxes that ask you for the content to put between the tags. phpbb's method is as follows:

Pressing any of the tag buttons will insert the tag at the current cursor's position, or if text is highlighted, around the highlighted portion. For example, if I have "this portion of the text" (enclosed in quotes) highlighted, and then click on bold, etc., the result would be "this portion of the text".

This seems a lot more intuitive and professional to me. I've read some threads where there was a concern with Netscape users, and admittedly I have not tested this feature with Netscape, but it should be possible for the javascript to just not function when Netscape is detected. I'll look for something by Chen and see what I can find. This is the only thing holding me back from releasing vBulletin to our guests at this time.
