I'm wondering how will Font Awesome load faster.
Should I use the JavaScript code or the CSS? Where should I put it in my HTML file? If I use the JavaScript code, what options should I use?
Here is a screenshot of the Font Awesome CDN interface when creating an embed code :

For now, I'm using a JavaScript file and I don't understand why Google PageSpeed tells me to "Remove the JavaScript resources that block the display" although I put the script juste before the </body> closing tag...
NB : I'm using the Font Awesome CDN.
Thanks in advance for your help. :)
Currently the fastest way of loading the font awesome is using cloudflare CDN.
Use this if you are on WordPress.
function add_font_awesome() {
wp_enqueue_style('fontawesome-css-new','//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css');
};
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_font_awesome');
Additionally, you could edit font awesome files to remove unnecessary elements too, but it's a waste of time. Also you could load font awesome file in the footer instead of header to have a better score in Google pagespeed.
I think it's better to use CSS, and include it in the head of your HTML file.
Im using a different technique with a way better result.
Loading only a set of selected icons that im using in that particular website.
Its better than loading the all icons at once like in fontawsome
Im using this tool: icomoon

I'm working on a CMS platform and I am planning to use CKEditor as it seems to offer everything I need.
One thing that is a bit of a bother to me is that I want my content to be in markdown format instead of html and while I found a BBCode extension for this, I couldn't figure out how it can be remade to support markdown.
I tried to find an editor that does markdown out of the box, but the ones I found are way too simple for what I need and CKEditor has the benefit of having a plugin system to adjust perfectly for me.
CKEditor now has a Markdown addon that does this exact thing. The addon project is hosted on github.

Using Markdown instead of HTML is a very bad idea for several reasons:
Markdown has no spec, so every library works differently in details. The output which you'll produce using CKEditor may give a different (even totally wrong) result when transformed to HTML by your back-end. For example - escaping image's title and link texts - you won't be able to ensure that the text user inserted does not break the output.
Not all HTML can be transformed to Markdown.
There are plenty of tricky cases which are totally correct in HTML, but cannot be done in Markdown.
Markdown has fewer features than HTML, so you'd lose some content which users produced.
You actually gain nothing by using Markdown instead of HTML.
I am a CKEditor core developer, so I know it very well. I tried to implement a Markdown writer for CKEditor and very quickly I found that it's completely pointless. I don't say that it's not possible, because it is, but only a limited stability can be achieved - too low for anything I would personally want to use in production.
I am wondering how to prevent people from Save image as.. by right-click images on my webpages.
I was thinking about disable right-click, but it seems I have to write javascript code. Is there a easy way to do this?
The simple answer is "you cannot do that". You might be able to put something on the server side that will check the referer before serving the image, but even that is not 100% guaranteed. Moreover, even if you did manage somehow to prevent this, nothing would prevent somebody from taking a screenshot of the browser page and then cropping the image out of it.
I think a much better approach would be to have a server-side url rewriting and processing of the images to add some sort of a visible watermark identifying the images as owned by you and saving a proper copyright information in the EXIF information.
You can make a div that is the same size and height as the image and then you can set the image as the background for that div. That will prevent people from directly downloading the image but they can still enter the url and download it from there. I made a tutorial on this myself right here: http://www.andytechguy.com/tutorials/html/how_to_nodownload/
There's an easy solution for this which I used in my website. Just add oncontextmenu="return false;" attribute to the Image tag and you are done with it!
<img src="https://source.unsplash.com/random" alt="Random image" oncontextmenu="return false;">
This is my first question to be answered on stackoverflow, so please fair with me if I didn't use the right tools...
As long as the image URL is in the source code, the image is downloadable using the unix command wget, or anything similar. I'm not a javascript expert however, but I believe you could read the location of the photo from a text file instead of the URL being hard coded in the HTML. Then you could configure that text file to return a 403 (Permission denied) when attempted to view with whatever web server you are using. This still wouldn't stop screenshots though.
Something like this:
<img src="some javascript to read text file">
Then have the text file contain:
/path/to/obscurely/named/photo.png
Ya, this isn't really possible. Another option is to use Lightroom or something else to batch add watermarks. Watermarks are the only option that I'm aware of that will almost completely protect you, because even the screenshot idea is not really possible unless they are a wizard in Photoshop.
In conclusion I think Lightroom or something else is your best and easiest shot of getting what your looking for.
You can do this by converting the image format from jpg to svg...there are alot of converters online i.e https://convertio.co/jpg-svg/
After this you copy and paste the svg code into your html code to replace the jpg.
I am developing a firefox extension which needs to add some html on the page it runs.
This element I will be writing needs to be decorated with css and also load some images.
I have both the css file and the images in the plugin, but I do not know how to reference them.
Do I need to insert the css file to the page I want to modify?
In the css file how can I reference the images that are in the extensions?
Thanks
You need to use chrome notation:

Ok. I have some experience with HTML and CSS, little with Javascript and none with JQuery.
And I'm trying to try out in my HTML file the Galleria plugin with fullscreen theme but I can't make it work. ( http://galleria.aino.se/ )
It only show the empty page with no pictures. I took the source code from the demo page and I pasted in my page and after some little modifications with the url of the theme, I managed to have on my screen only the image, without the "mechanism". Any help?
I think the instructions were made for an old release of the plugin and that's the reason I can't get it work.
P.S. I found a ready made demo on googlecode, but I can't get the fullscreen feature. Any help?
Try passing debug:true to yield more errors if you are seeing a blank page. Regarding customizations, try the documentation and API reference.

According to the HTML spec, (rather than ) is the tag to use for embedded content. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer supports the tag, which FF, Chrome, Safari, etc support the tag.
So how do you create valid content with Flash embedded?
After a web page has loaded, you can
insert the embed tag, effectively
circumventing the XHTML problems. As a
bonus, you can use JavaScript to
determine whether the correct Flash
Plugin is available on your visitor's
computer. If it isn’t, alternative
content can be loaded.
