Like [mc]tearyrwert[/mc] would bring out all of the images mentioned in the string, repeats and places kept where they are. Just like [mc]yioteykn[/mc] would.

Off hand I wouldn't know all the details but basically the BB code would be used to call a javascript function with those characters as arguments... such as [imgsrc]hyuop[/imgsrc] would translate to html to call the javascript function insertimages("hyuop")

The function insertimages() would then take the string input, look at it character by character, the list of images for each character is pre-defined in the javascript of course... and it would just add the <img> tags for each character.

It certainly seems possible from what I know of Javascript and VB... the exact details off hand I don't know but it can be done. The javascript code would go in the header so it's on all pages...

The problem is only, now I really don't know how to proceed. I have very little Javascript knowledge. I mean, I could probably get it to almost useful, but even then, it would be better just to use the images as smileys like now, because I have no idea how to get it to detect repeats or anything like that. So basically, I'm screwed. If anyone can tell me what kind of coding I need here... I'd also be prepared to pay for someone doing this modification, although my sums are somewhat limited...

Thanks in advance,
