I have added some custom emoticons to the editor, they are transparent pngs. I would like to be able to put a background color on each one, and was trying to use the text highlighter to put a background colour on the transparent png, but this doesn't work. Is there any way of doing this?

Thank you.

Hi,

I am not sure what you meant by using text highlighter to put a background color on the transparent pngs. What's the result HTML you want the editor to produce?

Thanks!

Ideally I would like for it to add a class to an image to give a background colour. Or a style.
<img src="/eo_web.ashx?id=emoticon&amp;i=bottlebrush,symbols" alt="BottleBrush" class="bgRed" />

Thank you.

Hi,

You can try to create a CSS rule with CSS wildcard selector and then apply it to the Editor through this property:

https://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/eo.web.editor.textareacssfile.aspx

Inside the file you can have CSS rule like this:

Code: C#
img[src*="id=emoticon"]
{
    background-color: red;
}


This would match all img tags whose src property contains "id=emoticon" and apply whatever styles you specify in the rule.

Thanks!

How would I set the id on the emoticon that is chosen? I also need the user to be able to select different colours?

Thank you
