• I wanted a way to add technorati tags neatly at the end of posts.Check this Pic to see what a screenshot I also wanted to add tags for words I didnt mention in the post. basically I wanted to add whatever tags that came to mind when I was done posting. I took a look at this applescript thing for marsEdit and looked at the code it spit out. I hacked up the quicktags.js and came up with this.

    I really dont know what Im doing =) So could you look at this and let me know if theres a quicker way to do this? I saw the <ttag> plugin but this bypasses the plugin and looks neater (to me).

    Here is a custom “techno” button plus an edited “link” button

    edButtons[edButtons.length] =
    new edButton("ed_techno"
    ,"techno"
    ,"<div class="technorati">Technorati Tags:"
    ,"</div>"
    ,"t"
    );

    edButtons[edButtons.length] =
    new edButton("ed_link"
    ,"link"
    ,""
    ,""
    ,"a"
    ); // special case

    .

    Below is the edited link popup window


    function edInsertLink(myField, i, defaultValue) {
    if (!defaultValue) {
    defaultValue = "";
    }
    if (!edCheckOpenTags(i)) {
    var URL = prompt("Enter Your TAG" ,defaultValue);
    if (URL) {
    edButtons[i].tagStart = "| <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tags/" + URL + ""rel="tag">" + URL + " </a>";
    edInsertTag(myField, i);
    }
    }
    else {
    edInsertTag(myField, i);
    }
    }

    Any thoughts? This is my 1st attemtp really at something like this (other than editing quicktags for a simple img thing).
