Emotions Required

I’ve just finished off implementing Chris Toohey‘s emoticons article into the BlogSphere template. All I need now is some way of displaying the list of valid emoticons to the end users. Any suggestions ?

Oh and incase you want to try out the new emoticon support then I have implemented the following emoticons :

  • Update : I’ve taken on the challenge of showing the emoticons in the live preview and it is now active. I’ve also decided on a way to show the emoticons to the users, you can either type in the emoticons alt text or you can click ( in most browsers ) the emoticon and it will be appended to the current comments. Enjoy

      One thing I would say though – I would have the images on another page. If you’re running with 30+ emoticons (like I have today) that’s 30+ images you need to download even if you are using simple text only.
      I would use a pop-up selector, and then communicate back to the parent (the comment or blog).

      Other than that, beautiful!!!
