# Corrupted image upload box

 * Hi guys
 * I recently corrupted my image upload box. This happened using Firefox with the
   dictionary extension installed. I think I must have somehow accidently double
   clicked on a certain word on the box thus a mini box was showing and I clicked
   upload (the dictionary extension: highlight and double click on a word launches
   a small box. Click that and a window opens up revealing the definitions for the
   word). So yeah, I think thats what happened.
 * Sometiems when I write a new post or when I edit a post, the upload image box
   is replaced with some massive codes. Sometimes the code even takes over the “
   save”, “save and continue editing”, “publish” buttons.
 * I’d like to know what the “upload box” file is called and if I re-uploaded a 
   new one, would it solve the problem?
 * Thanks in advance…
 * The codes look like this:
 * addLoadEvent(function () { window.setTimeout(‘buttonsnap_addbuttons()’,1000);});
   var buttonsnap_mozilla = document.getElementById&&!document.all; function buttonsnap_safeclick(
   e) { if(!buttonsnap_mozilla) { e.returnValue = false; e.cancelBubble = true; }}
   function buttonsnap_addEvent( obj, type, fn ) { if (obj.addEventListener) obj.
   addEventListener( type, fn, false ); else if (obj.attachEvent) { obj[“e”+type
   +fn] = fn; obj[type+fn] = function() { obj[“e”+type+fn]( window.event ); } obj.
   attachEvent( “on”+type, obj[type+fn] ); } } function buttonsnap_newbutton(src,
   alt) { if(window.tinyMCE) { var anchor = document.createElement(‘A’); anchor.
   setAttribute(‘href’, ‘javascript:;’); anchor.setAttribute(‘title’, alt); var 
   newimage = document.createElement(‘IMG’); newimage.setAttribute(‘src’, src); 
   newimage.setAttribute(‘alt’, alt); newimage.setAttribute(‘class’, ‘mceButtonNormal’);
   buttonsnap_addEvent(newimage, ‘mouseover’, function() {tinyMCE.switchClass(this,’
   mceButtonOver’);}); buttonsnap_addEvent(newimage, ‘mouseout’, function() {tinyMCE.
   switchClass(this,’mceButtonNormal’);}); //restoreClass(this) buttonsnap_addEvent(
   newimage, ‘mousedown’, function() {tinyMCE.restoreAndSwitchClass(this,’mceButtonDown’);});
   anchor.appendChild(newimage); brs = mcetoolbar.getElementsByTagName(‘BR’); if(
   brs.length > 0) mcetoolbar.insertBefore(anchor, brs[0]); else mcetoolbar.appendChild(
   anchor); } else if(window.qttoolbar) { var anchor = document.createElement(‘input’);
   anchor.type = ‘button’; anchor.value = alt; anchor.className = ‘ed_button’; anchor.
   title = alt; anchor.id = ‘ed_’ + alt; qttoolbar.appendChild(anchor); } return
   anchor; } function buttonsnap_newseparator() { if(window.tinyMCE) { var sep =
   document.createElement(‘IMG’); sep.setAttribute(‘src’, buttonsnap_wproot + ‘/
   wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/images/spacer.gif’); sep.className = ‘
   mceSeparatorLine’; sep.setAttribute(‘class’, ‘mceSeparatorLine’); sep.setAttribute(‘
   height’, ’16’); sep.setAttribute(‘width’, ‘1’); brs = mcetoolbar.getElementsByTagName(‘
   BR’); if(brs.length > 0) mcetoolbar.insertBefore(sep, brs[0]); else mcetoolbar.
   appendChild(sep); } } function buttonsnap_settext(text) { if(window.tinyMCE) {
   window.tinyMCE.execInstanceCommand(‘content’, ‘mceInsertContent’, false, text);
   tinyMCE.execCommand(“mceCleanup”); } else { edInsertContent(edCanvas, text); }}
   function buttonsnap_ajax(dispatch) { if(window.tinyMCE) { selection = tinyMCE.
   getInstanceById(‘content’).getSelectedText(); } else { if (document.selection){
   document.getElementById(‘content’).focus(); sel = document.selection.createRange();
   if (sel.text.length > 0) { selection = sel.text; } else { selection = ”; } } 
   else { selection = ”; } } var ajax = new sack(buttonsnap_request_uri); ajax.setVar(‘
   buttonsnapdispatch’, dispatch); ajax.setVar(‘selection’, selection); ajax.onCompletion
   = function () {buttonsnap_settext(this.response);}; ajax.runAJAX(); } var mcetoolbar;
   var qttoolbar = document.getElementById(“ed_toolbar”); function buttonsnap_addbuttons(){
   if(window.tinyMCE) { try { var edit = document.getElementById(window.tinyMCE.
   getEditorId(‘content’)); for(table = edit;table.tagName != ‘TABLE’;table = table.
   parentNode); mcetoolbar = table.rows[0].firstChild; } catch(e) { setTimeout(‘
