Is there a way to make Google Translate work on pages that contain fontawesome?
Buttons with images are being split into two
fonts using the fontawesome classes and i tag are not shown
For example:
https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=th&u=fontawesome.io
I found out that this problem is caused because google did not have access to cross site scripting font elements on my web site.
Once I added the google translate scripts to my site everything works perfectly (well, except it's not changing the language direction ltr and rtl by default)

I am working on an Ionic app using Angular and Firebase.
I need to display multiple 50-page word documents accessed through links on the app menu.
The documents contain important charts, graphs, and illustrations that need to be displayed.
I could use angular-document-viewer, but since the doc is created on a pc, the scaling would be off.
How can I convert the .docx documents to responsive HTML, keeping the charts, graphs, and illustrations intact and legible on all screen sizes?
I'm not so sure about the charts and illustrations but it seems to be pretty extensive. Plus it seems that you can apply custom styles.
Docx.js
Works with npm.
After a fair bit of looking around, the only way I've found to get a signature on gmail is to copy the rendered HTML signature. Two problems arose: 1) I couldn't actually select my entire signature, and I can't even see what I am selecting like how it works with regular text and other's tutorials for gmail signatures. 2) If I press Ctrl+A on Firefox (Chrome only copies half, even when I use Ctrl+A), I can manage to copy my signature, but if I try to paste in the signature box, it glitches out and appears static in the top left of that specific Chrome/Firefox tab, like this (edited for privacy reasons):
And if I try to just go for it and email (after saving changes), no signature will be rendered at all. Not too sure what to do at this point, so any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
EDIT: This is the HTML I use to render the signature. As a side note, I do replace those placeholder file names with links from an image hosting site. I also add 3 tags around a few of the ""s.
Ultimately I found the solution after playing with various HTML and image options. The problem lies in my use of the <div> tag for the layout of the signature. I should have been using <td>. Using the slice tool in Illustrator will render the HTML with <div> tags, while using ruler guides in Photoshop and saving for web (I used the legacy option) will render with <td> tags. I'm going to do a little more digging and see if using guides in Illustrator will still render with <div> tags, but I'm not sure if this site is the place to discuss this piece of the problem.
EDIT: By the way, Illustrator just really likes <div>s, so if anyone is looking to do this same thing, use Photoshop's legacy Save for Web mode. It will generate the <td> tags for you.
I am currently working on a responsive page which uses unicode symbols on certain elements and I would like them to have the same "look". As I understand, each browser and each operating system have different fonts for unicode symbols, and I noticed that the font-family property was not helping.
My biggest problem right now is that all the unicode symbols that I use show up as colored emojis on smartphones, which often ruins the page's design. Is there any way to fix that? Am I missing something?
The answer to your question can be split into two:
How to not worry about client-side fonts: web fonts
How to use emoji/pictograms without browser changing the rendering: css icon font
The latter part is more relevant as you are specifically dealing with emoji.
Web fonts
Web fonts would solve the cross-system compatibility issue. These are fonts that are served to the browser. Google fonts is a good place to start —it is actually weird to see how much of the web uses them.
If your unicode is more than just Greek or CJK and uses, say, runes, you will need to make your own web font (which is easy, Googling gives many web servers and guides), which takes advantage of #font-face rule (wiki). One serious drawback to the latter is that there is a copyright problem if you use a font you found on some depository or on your machine, so that is something worth looking out for.
Icon font library
An icon font library is a stylesheet library (with a font) that inserts an icon after an empty element with a class named for that icon, e.g. in FontAwesome <i class="fa fa-hand-spock-o"></i>.
As emoji are a recent addition and the support is more than patchy, websites and browsers add the support themselves, often coloring them (e.g. Chromoji extension). Consequently, I strongly suggest using an icon font library.
I am partial to FontAwesome —e.g. an academic tool of mine—, but there are loads of other options, some are:
Bootstrap's Glyphicons
Typicons
Fontello allows a mishmash of various icon font libraries (a longer list can be found there).
If however, the icon you are looking for is absent, you can create an icon font library using one of the many web resources (eg iconmoon.io). For the images themselves, flaticon has large collection of icons that can be converted to a icon library, which saves you time from having to slave away in illustrator.
a client of mine wanted a website translated in some languages. We decided to use the simple Google Translate funcion.
The issue is that everytime the website is translated the majority of the links aren't working anymore (you can't click on them).
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Many thanks
I got into the same trouble. The problem came from jQuery scripts conflicts in my case.
If you manage to deal with all script errors / conflicts on both the Google translated and the original pages of your website, you'll be fine - all the links should work.
Other situation that can occur is that you create an HTML structure with block elements inside a link (invalid for HTML4 and XHTML):
<a>
<div>
<p>...</p>
<img />
</div>
</a>
In this case, Google Translator will remove the link from the structure.
Note: I haven't tried it with HTML5 doctype. HTML5 allows wrapping pretty much anything inside a link, therefore, Google Translator might not remove the link with HTML5 doctype.
When viewing a webpage, I would like to copy a selection of text with its html formatting in one piece.
Meaning if some text is in bold and blue, I want the tool to create a style or class in the html which makes the text blue. Everything is contained in the produced html.
I have downloaded a similar plugin but the classes definitions are still external which means I have to get them separately. A non technical user would be at a loss here. I want the user to be able to copy and paste to a new webpage and that page just just works properly because the html copied contains everything.
This doesn't have to be a FF plugin. It could be IE or a Windows app.
I think you may be able to accomplish this by using the Firebug for Firefox extension. I often use it to export the content of a web page for use rebuilding a similar object. Is this still too technical? Firebug is a powerful, viable option that it is worth learning, I think.
I think the copy operation does this already. If I copy this page and paste it in a WYSIWYG editor such as TinyMCE (included in Wordpress), I get the formatting. For example the text of this page is (as pasted):
<h2>Firefox plugin to copy text with its formatting Intelligently?</h2>
The HTML markup is copied, but not external CSS. I suspect creating a piece of CSS that would apply to your standalone snippet of code the style it had within the DOM hierarchy would be horribly difficult if at all possible.
Try SnappySnippet, it's a Chrome extension that allows to copy html and all the related css style of an element. It integrates itself into the Chrome console. I hope this helps
This seems to be what you're looking for:
Web Design Pirate:

It creates a new "Pirate" tab in the developer tools that lets you grab the elements you want, including all associated CSS.
