Re: F.A.Q.

Nice guide, but I currently have a problem with changing background images IF in jail/hospital. Any Idea?

Also if this even fits here, how do you make it so when you click a smilies or [underline] it gives you the code for underline and the smilies?

<?php
if ($ir['hospital'] >= 1) {
echo '<style type="text"css">

}</style>'; 
} 
else if ($ir['jail'] >= 1) {
echo '<style type="text"css">
body {
 background: #333;
 color: #FFF;
}</style>'; }
?>

function add_code(code,id) {
var element = document.getElementById(id);
element.value += code; }
