Inserting smiley into the HTML
formatting, html, javascript
Solution
Assuming you mean smilies as found in various forums, you simply replace the ASCII smiley with a HTML `img` element on the server side. The output will look like this:
<p>This is a paragraph <img src="wink.png" alt=";)"></p>
Most of the time this is achieved using e.g. the PHP `str_replace` function.
Problem
How do I insert a smiley in the HTML programatically? I want to know the logic as how does it exist along with text? Is it a styled ASCII character or something? thanks in advance.
