Multi-Quote Text Link

[PyroNET]

Anybody have any insight on how I could get Multi-Quote to work with a text link instead of an image?

[PyroNET]

<span id="mq_$post[postid]" onclick="mq_click(this.id.substr(3));">Multi-Quote</span>

Any reason this wouldn't be working?

Look at the JS function. It tries to change the "image", but as there isn't one to start with, it errors out and stops executing the function. You will need to change the function for it to work, or alternatively, write your own.

Thanks, got it working
