Just wanted to know if I can use Cufon in Dreamweaver via plugin or something ? or will I have to insert the code manually ?
Regrads,

Since Cufon is just a text replacement mechanism with javascript, you'll have to include it in your document manually. If you just want to see how your site will look with that font, you could put it in your font directory and include it in the fontlist of dreamweaver so you can see how it will appear as you work. Of course, this means you need to have the font locally and it will only work for you.

I am absolutely a novice in the field of html / css programming. I have a font file with extension .woff etc. I know, I may upload it on a server and later on use it with the help of css files generated from tools like fontsquirrel. However, I want to explore the option of getting the font into simple html or css codes so that I may use it on forums like blogger without having to host the font file elsewhere. Is it technically possible? Thank you.
I've been using Font Awesome for a little bit on some of my projects and I have created a bunch of my own icons that I can link locally without a problem; however, I want to be able to link the icons I made from an online source like Font Awesome do and serve them publicly, how exactly is this achieved?
You need to have icon in SVG format that you have created,
then you can use this, it will generate all the necessary font types, CSS/Sass/Less/Stylus , HTML demo page and Name font according to your wish.

I did a bit of Googling for you to find somewhere for your to offer your files.
You will need to create a font from your SVG files, I use fontastic.me and it's very good, but you could use another service.
You will then need to create a package of your files, and put it on a CDN service so that other people (or just you) can use it publicly. You can try using something like https://www.jsdelivr.com/ or look into how to set up your own CDN.
I'm looking to create an extension for personal and possibly personal friend usage as well that simply changes a few colors that are displayed on a website I visit. I use Reddit Enhancement Suite, which has options for 'Night mode' that completely changes the color appearance of Reddit.
I would like to know how to edit or inject CSS code to this website so that the colors used in the website are what I would like them to be when I view the page. Mind you, this is of course just in my browser or in another Chrome browser using my extension.
You can do exactly as you said: you can inject a CSS file or code into the page.
The easiest way is through the manifest (look at the CSS property).
You only need to complete your manifest.json in order for Chrome to know in which pages it has to insert your CSS file into.
If you want to decide programatically when to insert the CSS, you can use chrome.tabs.insertCSS(), where you can insert a CSS file or just the code as a string.
Instead of an extension, you could also do it in a user script. Then you can simply use GM_addStyle, just like with Greasemonkey scripts. It's much simpler to write and more lightweight in terms of memory usage.
There are already extensions made for this. The one I use is called Stylish, which only modifies appearance using CSS3 only, and not html. There are other extensions as well, do some google searches and you will find a few more.
Does anyone know about a good HTML editor which can be configured in such a way that it is gsp aware?
What I mean is that at least tags such as <g:link> and <g:input> should be displayed as their html equivalent.
Yes I know: a perfect editor is hard to write and it is easier to edit the HTML sources (that's what I do), but there are people who prefer an HTML editor...
Update: yes, I am looking for a WYSIWYG HTML editor with which I can drag'n'drop some html elements to a page without changing the <g:...> tags which might already be contained in the page. In addition, this editor should have some gsp awareness, so that <g:...> tags are displayed in an appropriate way.
Update: still looking for something, so I started a bounty. What I need is something like this plugin: http://code.google.com/p/grails-form-builder-plugin/ but more evolved...
Bounty: not easy to select the right answer for the bounty. None of the answers is a solution to my problem, but I have decided that rschlachter points me in the right direction: a wysiwyg form editor is not the right solution for a developer...
I think there may be a flaw in the process here. You could build the page first in HTML and make any changes there before putting in any gsp elements. While the page is in HTML format people can continue to use WYSIWYG editors and then developers can add in the grails functionality.
It just seems like if you need/want to use a WYSIWYG editor, you shouldn't be modifying a gsp.
The iterations I prefer to use after I have gathered requirements are:
wireframe
mockup
html
gsp
If the gsps are already there (ie you inherited the project or something) you could go back a step and create an html only version of the page by pulling the gsp elements out and putting in images of them or replacing them with their html equivalents.
the IBM Maqetta Project seems to be going in the right direction:

Mercury editor might be worth looking at too.

There is one more editor that you might want to look at:
Aloha Editor - http://www.aloha-editor.org/
Orbeon can be an option

Might be able to do this with TinyMCE by configuring the valid_elements or the extended_valid_elements (docs). For example, if you want to replace <g:link> and <g:input> you would do something like:
tinyMCE.init({
valid_elements : "a/g:link,input/g:input"
});
OR If you want to simply enable the additional elements, then you could do something like:
tinyMCE.init({
extended_valid_elements : "g:link,g:input"
});
I am building a web application that will need to allow users to save formatted text to a database. Basically they just need to be able to change font color, font background color, font size, bold, italics, and underline.
I would like to use something that I can just attach to a text area to make a formatting bar show up.
It would be nice to use something that marks up the formatting in something besides HTML so that I can HTML Encode the input when storing it, for safety. It would, of course, need to convert its own markup into HTML when rendering back to the browser.
What options are out there?
FCKEditor is one of the best fits for you. We are using it in one of our ASP.NET MVC web applications and it's awesome.
Before selecting FCKEditor, it tried other web editor but the ability to configure them was not good.

I'd take a look at the HtmlEditor in the latest version of the Ajax Control Toolkit. I haven't used it yet - but for free, you can't beat the price.

I can recommend you WymEditor.
It's WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) XHTML editor (not WYSIWYG).
It was perfect for my small pseudo-CMS module to force users to use only a few defined styles from a list, but I have no idea if it'll suit your needs.
Plan B is to use TinyMCE which I prefer more than FCKEdit.
