In the text formatting bar that you see below the text window when you write a post, there is a smiley face. When you click on it a small window will open and you can choose the smiley you would like. If it doesn't work for you, let me know what browser and what operating system you are on (It doesn't work in FF for me since I have ad-blocking enabled).
oh, thought she wants to know it for another website (dreamweaver). smileys here work in ff, but on my notebook i can see only 12/16 smileys, and i cant scroll to the missing 4...
those flash simily are very annoying, as no brakes has pointed out already its just a normal image so you can add it as you would add your images. first you needto find it and save them first.
What I mean is that I am editing on a website through dreamweaver and I want to put a smiley icon on the page but don't know how. I don't think smiley central is the solution as this is if we use the browsers but what I mean is when editing with dreamweaver, how to go about with this? Do I need to type something to the code view? Or type a link?
I am so happy coz the smileys are now showing in my website. What I did was to go to the smiley page of Yahoo, copied the source code of the emoticon that I like, then inserted it in the code view of the site in dreamweaver and I am glad that I can see it now. I have spent not only one night to learn of this before. It is important that somebody guides so that it is easier done.
You are making your life very complicated. The smileys are nothing else but small pictures. You can draw your own if you like.
As for adding smileys here: You should use the smiley icon in the toolbar below your text window. Currently text is not autmatically replaced with graphics.
so you are basically hotlinking it from yahoo, this is not a good idea. you should have lfet click and save to a folder then added them as image in dreamweaver.

Or wherever those guys hotlinked it from.
Don't you mean right click?
In extreme cases hotlinking can become a legal issue (although I doubt they do care about smileys) but at the very least you are subjecting your site to this kind of treatment:
Thanks for the info on hotlinking but I really didn't know how to place that icon that is why I was inquiring in this thread. I have tried to left click and all those stuff as what I understood but it didn't work for me and that was the best thing that I could do to make it successful.
Just save the picture to your computer. You need to RIGHT click it and then say "Save Picture As ..." if you use Internet Explorer or "Save Image As ..." if you use Firefox. Then you save the picture to the folder where you create your website. Then you go to Dreamweaver and insert the picture just as you would insert any other picture.
One thing I remember just now. In some of the forums that I have joined, they also have choices of smiley emoticons. Can this be considered also as hotlinking?

a smiley is just another picture. you can just use the html code to display it, or run a str_replace() over it.
(how can you display html-code in this forum?)
LOL @ no brakes
str_replace("no brakes", "funny guy", "$previous_post");
Helen, I think what you are asking for is this:

Yes, I am thinking of using it for the website that we're always editing in dreamweaver :)
We edit this website everyday but I want to put a smiley on the text that I am writing on but don't know how.
How is it done? (Thanks Andre and no brakes for replying :) )
So I am the one who misuderstood it all. Oh well, check here:

Maybe I didn't say it well.

Just visit a website with a smiley on it. Right click on it and save the graphic to your computer. Insert it in Dreamweaver.
Voila, you are done.
Haven't done any static html design in ages
. My photo site started out as a static html version but beyond 1000 pages became unmanagable.

Great! So that's how it is going to be done... we'll try that so my boss will be happy with me :)
BTW, why don't my :) show a smiley icon like yours? Is it coz I don't have smiley central on my browser?
Thanks, andre! ;)

Just got to try that method again coz I think I have already done that but failed. Anyway, I will do that, thanks Andre.
