Modifying the Message Composition Window

To modify the Message Composition window, edit the appropriate files as follows:

To customize the window, edit the compFrameHTML() function in the comp_fs_lr.html file.

• To customize the text, edit the values under Message Composition and Tool Bars in the lang/i18n.js file.

• To enable and disable the emoticons, edit the variable iconHREF in the main.js file. By default, the emoticon files are located in msg_svr_base/html/imx directory.

Functionally, compFrameHTML() in comp_fs_lr.html assembles the code and assigns the functions to the graphics by calling WMtoolbar() in main.js which also handles colors and text-only versions. The compFrameHTML() function in comp_fs_lr.html generates the “To”, “Cc”, and “Bcc” control area by calling i18n_compose_controls() in lang/i18n.js.

Example 5–6 shows the necessary changes to be made in the file en/i18n.js for changing the text “Recipients” to “Send to”.

Example 5–6 Altering Composition Window Text (en/i18n.js)

// Message Composition
....
i18n[’recipient’] = ’ Send To ’ 

The emoticons appear on the screen if the Text/HTML option is set to HTML. By default the Text/HTML option is set to Text format.

Example 5–7 shows how to edit the main.js file to enable emoticons.
