Constructing text formatting symbox like Bold, Italic with CSS

[justaguy]

Hi,

At present I'm using tiny images to present text formatting features
such as Bold, Italic etc. But oddly Firefox loads them extremely slow
lately for my tiny app
(http://184.175.78.118:8600/knbweb/),
Note, this url is faster,
(http://www.knowledgenotebook.com/knbweb.html)
Note, this url is slower but it may see more authentic to many

So, I wonder if we have a viable alternative for them with CSS.

Please see the following URL for exactly what I mean here.

Thanks in advance.

You need something like TinyMCE <http://www.tinymce.com>

"a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG editor
control released as Open Source under LGPL by Moxiecode Systems AB.
TinyMCE has the ability to convert HTML TEXTAREA fields or other HTML
elements to editor instances. TinyMCE is very easy to integrate into
other Content Management Systems. "

So why are you bothering with images?

It's nice of you to share your solutions.

Images are actually tiny icons. Previously I was using a newer
version of a js library whereas elsewhere it uses its older version,
hence, not cached, which slows down loading.

I have no idea what you mean by this. How is this relevant to the
discussion? Are you trying to hint you're doing font replacement with
something like tinyMCE and something else like Cufón?

We're not communicating, forget it.

You should not be using images for buttons anymore. You can use pure css to create your buttons. (below is a demo)

For older browsers that don't support css3 (ie7, ie8) Modernizr is the answer
