I've had a question from a client to enable image based stickers in the comment system. I've built a basic jQuery script which will allow the selection of a sticker and add it as markup in the comment textarea;
jQuery(".stickers img").click(function(){
var img = jQuery(this).parent().html();
var text = jQuery("#respond textarea").val();
jQuery("#respond textarea").val(text + img);
});
While this works just fine upon hitting submit, the user is presented with raw HTML code until this happens.
I did see a plugin called "Rich Text Editor for Comments", but this appears to have been removed for the WP repository.
Does anyone know of a similar plugin, or how the comment textarea could be adapted to use rich text by default?
