Simple jQuery bbcode example

Question

Hi there. I have a simple question for all of you jQuery lads out there. I would like to se an example of a simple jQuery bbcode function.

I use a old one now and it's pure javascript and uses onClick. I would like to create a new one based on jQuery. (and understand what I did and Why I didi it).

Can you guys give me a hand? :)

Answer 1

I don't know if 600 lines of code qualifies as "simple", but there is a jQuery bbcode editor available here.

Answer 2

Unless you're looking to develop a new one as an exercise, there are quite a few markup/bbcode plugins available already -

• SmartMarkUp

• markItUp!

• jQuery plugins with search under bbcode

to name a few
