Emoticon 'Floater'

<< added: 1/28/2005

Summary: Vertically center emoticons so that there isn't so much space between lines when emoticons are used in the same paragraph with words.

HEAD: (box #1)

<script type="text/javascript">
/* EMOTICON 'FLOATER' */
function emote_float (iLineHeight) {
imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for (img = 0; img < imgs.length; img++) {
if (imgs[img].alt.charAt(0) == ':') {
if (imgs[img].height > iLineHeight) {
iAdjust = (iLineHeight - imgs[img].height) / 2;
imgs[img].style.marginTop = iAdjust.toString() + 'px';
imgs[img].style.marginBottom = iAdjust.toString() + 'px';
}
}
}
}
/* END EMOTICON 'FLOATER' */
</script>

FOOTER: (box #4)

<script type="text/javascript">
/* EMOTICON 'FLOATER' */
emote_float(15);
/* END EMOTICON 'FLOATER' */
</script>

FOOTER Notes:

Update 15 to the height (in pixels) of your text/font.
