I have my bbcode installed and I have a problem with a dropdown as buttonWhat I have tryed out is

<select name="font" ><option select>Font</option><option onClick="txt.value+='[font=Times New Roman]text[/font]';"><><spanfont face="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</font></option><option onClick="txt.value+='[font=Comic Sans MS]text[/font]';"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Comic Sans MS</font></option></select>

I cant figure how to make it work, my textarea is:

<textarea cols='90' rows='10' id='txt' name='text'></textarea>

note that inside the dropdown the font tag isn't doing anything...

Options can't be styled with font tags. :)You have to use CSS, whether it's inline or not.If you need help with that, just post, but for your actual javascript code help:Put this into the head section of your page. It's not necessary to complete this with a function instead of inline code, but it makes things cleaner.

<script type="text/javascript">function addFont(font) {  document.getElementById("txt").value+="[font="+font+"]text[/font]";}</script>

Now, use this as your select code instead.<select name="font" onchange="addFont(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"><option select>Font</option><option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option><option value="Comic Sans MS">Comic Sans MS</option></select>As you can see, it's much smaller, but will still work the same way. If you want to add a new font, simply add one of these:<option value="font name">Font Name</option>:)

Oh!, but I think it will also change if you write "document.txt.value" . Also what IS on Line 3.Char 67?? If it will not change by "document.txt.value"...my question is why?

when I copied and pasted the code I had to translate it form what I had to a more basic version and I forgot to deleate a part.Thanks cocolate.However I might want to know how to change the font of an option but I read it could not be done in CSS... I found a tutorial using JS that makes the select act like a list:
