Calling MattEvans, Please assist?
G'day mate, I played around with your suggestions on the date you posted, but got nowhere. I havent been able to use a pc since because I had a heartattack and have just returned from Hospital. If you can spare some time, Id greatly appreciate your skill with the code. Thanks, Dan

What exactly is that you're trying to do? If you give more complete details of your ultimate requirements; it will be easier to work out what needs to be done.. Be as detailed as possible.

OK, im using the following js
There is some css but thats not important here. This code creates a small box inside posts to the left of a paragraph, its like footnotes but quicker
the js above goes in the page head. At present a user is required to type the following in a post to acheive the effect...
what I want to do ,is to create a single 'sidenote' button, that will output (in the post) the following
and the user will replace 'Text' with his/her sidenote.
example seen here

<script type="text/javascript">
function addSidenote(){
var myTextArea = document.getElementById("commentBox");
myTextArea.value = myTextArea.value + '[dohtml]<span class="sidenote" title="Text"></span>[/dohtml]';
}
</script>
<textarea id="commentBox"/>
<input type="button" onclick="addSidenote();" value="Add a Sidenote"/>That code will create a new textarea for the benefit of demonstration. You'll want to link it to your existing textarea. Looking at the source of the page in your link; this is your textarea:
<TD><b>Quick Comment:</b></TD></tr><tr><TD><textarea cols="40"rows="5" scrollbars="yes" name="field1" value="" ></textarea></TD>
You'll want to add an id attribute to that text area; something like this:
<TD><b>Quick Comment:</b></TD></tr><tr><TD><textarea cols="40"rows="5" scrollbars="yes" name="field1" value="" id="commentBox" ></textarea></TD>
Now if you remove the textarea from my example; and put the code on your page somewhere, the code will relate to your comment box; and should work ok.
