Chat smileys approach... Possible?

The chat program we're making would definately look more cool if we could support smileys, but i don't have any idea of how to do this. Actually i've got 2 ideas, but none of them seems reliable enough... The first one would be to use a WebGadget, but we have a problem here... How can we add a new line to the contained page without having to refresh it each time an user sends a message? This would be the fastest way, and there is an alternative to this, using an EditorGadget, but I really can't figure out how to add the graphics to a specific location in the text (on the fly).
Is this possible in the first place? I would really appreciate any idea or code example. If it is too hard to make i'll quit trying to make this part.
Thanks in advance !

I guess it would, but it would not be that 'professional' to refresh each time somebody sends a message... I need some ideas of how to do this...

*scratches my head* I might be missing something, the code I linked to above doesn't require a refresh, does it? Or am I remembering wrong?
I have not used that code to try and insert graphics, but I have used it with text in a "chat type" environment, and not had any issues.

I also didn't see it.
not possible on this forum to underline links by default instead of showing up after hoovering over it?

I dunno, from now on I will just paste the link and not use the forums "url" commands, they never appear right for me on any browser.
Edited above post to clearly show the link.

They may display differently depending on which phpbb "style" is selected also.

Why don't you just
color your link?

This part is done now
. What about automatically scrolling the contents down with every line added? How can i do that?

You mean something like this?
Code: Select all
SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Main_Chat),#EM_SCROLL,#SB_BOTTOM,0)
Each time you add text to the editorgadget use that line.

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to work
. The scroll doesn't occur in the webgadget
.
[Edit]
My bad... I didn't specify i needed this for the WebGadget... I'm sorry for that.
