:: I don't know enough to check it for compatibility with all browsers and situations. I'm just proposing that someone with the knowledge include it site-wide. — [[User:Omegatron|Omegatron]] 03:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

:::Your version is a syntax error in IE6. Code shouldn't be added to the site-wide JS unless it works on ''all'' browsers! --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 14:45, 12 March 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

== Proposal: Edittools with Javascript ==

Replace all those <code><a … onlcick=InsertTags </code> lines now generated from [[MediaWiki:Edittools]] with javascript code inside <tt>MediaWiki:Editpage.js</tt>. Sample version of this code: [[User:Alex Smotrov/createEditTools]], see discussion page for instructions on how to test it. Advantages:

* ease of removing (not just hiding) unnecessary characters and adding your own

* Js code is about 10 times smaller

* Js code should be cached by browser because it's a separate file

:Great idea! I like the js, but I have one idea. Once we're doing this, why don't we have a drop-down menu like at [[:commons:]]? —<span style="color: red;">[[User:Mets501|M<small>ETS</small>501]] ([[User talk:Mets501|talk]])</span> 21:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

::Question: What happens for users with javascript disabled? [[User:Prodego|<font color="darkgreen">''Prodego''</font>]] ^{[[User talk:Prodego|<font color="darkgreen">talk</font>]]} 19:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

:::The edit tools don't appear. Since clicking on them relies on JavaScript anyways, this is not a problem. It's actually better than the current situation since right now the tools show up if you don't have JS enabled, but they don't actually work.
