JavaScript Quicktags 1.2

Posted in: Development

I’ve released a new version of my JavaScript Quicktags. I’ve been using this version for a while now, just hadn’t gotten around to packaging it up for release.

This version has a few changes:

  • A few additional tags, including an “External Link” tag that adds rel=”external” to the A tag. This can be used to open these links in a new window or treat them in some other way.
  • Tags for my footnotes implementation.
  • A “base” set of tags are shown by default and an “extended” set of tags are shown by request. A cookie is used to remember this choice.
  • Added accesskeys to many of the tags (great with today’s Camino nightly build).

If you want to use these for WordPress, rename the JavaScript file to ‘quicktags.js’ and put it in your ‘wp-admin’ directory (replacing the existing file).

    alex, you’ve done a really nice job on the quicktags script. i haven’t downloaded the new version yet but i’ve been using the old one on my blog for a few months. it works perfectly, has several cool little ui touches, and was easy to tweak to meet my exact needs. thanks much for your work.

    Quicktags looks great, thanx. Just wondering…In your post above you say “an “extendedâ€? set of tags are shown by request. A cookie is used to remember this choice” how do I trigger this request?
