Adding smilies in new posts does not work....

I came across a strange behavior that I can only reproduce in IE, not in Firefox. You can try this for yourself on the "official" phpBB2Plus page: http://www.phpbb2plus.de/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=1

Start a new post and write some text. Then select one of the smilies and click on it:
ALL THE TEXT IS GONE and replaced by the smiley!!

Anybody?
Thanks Wink

I found these differences:

phpBB Plus, in add_bbcode.js:

Code:

function emoticon(text) {
text = ' ' + text + ' ';
PostWrite(text);
}

and

Code:

function PostWrite(text) {
if (document.post.message.createTextRange && document.post.message.caretPos) {
var caretPos = document.post.message.caretPos;
caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? text + ' ' : text;
}
else document.post.message.value += text;
document.post.message.focus(caretPos)
}

Compare that to the "old" emoticon function in phpBB, which was placed in templates/subSilver/posting_body.tpl:

Code:

It seems to me that an error was made in the Postwrite function, see the 4th line....

BTW by replacing the emoticon function in add_bbcode.js by the old version made everything work again Wink

PS This only happens in Internet Explorer, Firefox is more forgiving!

I haven't been able to reproduce this in IE, maybe IE7 doesn't have this bug?
