glyphicons

http://www.wordherd.co/#features On this site, when I try to look at the source image file of any of the icons (like "Directions") using Firebug, it displays some sort of unicode for the content. How do you get to the source image files? I'm trying to understand the hack they are using to prevent the images from being accessible. Josh Crozier These "images" are icons fonts. They are usually added via :before / :after pseudo elements. In this instance, the content value is an ASCII representation of an external font library character. .icon-flag:before { content: "\f024"; } In order for this to

I am working in Bootstrap 3 and am trying to get a calendar icon inside the right hand side of the input box. My html looks like this: <div class="col-md-12"> <div class='right-inner-addon col-md-2 date datepicker' data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd"> <input name='name' value="" type="text" class="form-control date-picker" data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd"/> <i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> </div> </div> I have tried position: absolute like this: .right-inner-addon i { position: absolute; right: 5px; top: 10px; pointer-events: none; font-size: 1.5em; } .right-inner-addon { position: relative; } But when I

I am trying to center my FontAwesome icons inside my Twitter Bootstrap code. This is my HTML: <div id="frontpage-content" class="content"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-4"> <span> <i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-5x"></i> </span> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

Enim, natus necessitatibus pariatur optio explicabo consequuntur quod!</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4">

We have a project in late development stage. It has its own css files, with many, many classes and what not in it. Original developer of that css is not available any more. We just kept adding our classes and styles to a single file. There is a need for a nice icon set, and bootstrap has exactly what we need. I tried including bootstrap to our project already, but it is a mess when I do that. Everything is clashing I suppose. Is there a way to include something like minimalist bootstrap that includes only glyphicons classes? Simply go to Bootstrap's Customization page at http://getbootstrap

Not sure if this even possible, I am trying to invoke a tooltip over a glyphicon inside an input group, my code (which does not work) is; <div class="input-group"> <input type="text" class="form-control" name="security" id="security"><span class="input-group-addon"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-info-sign" data-toggle="tooltip" data-container: 'body' title="" data-original-title="Security Code"></span></span> </div> I'm using Bootstrap 3, and the latest version of jQuery. You can get a simple tooltip over the glyphicon using the title attribute (which is blank in your example). title="info"

I am a beginner in web development and I recently started working with Twitter Bootstrap, I know it uses Glyphicons which I already know how to use. But I also came across Font Awesome which says that it is built for Bootstrap. What are the differences between the two? I mean is one an alternative for the other? Or should you use them in different places? In Bootstrap 2.x.x Glyphyicons were in image format, hence you can't increase the size, change the color, background-color, etc easily. However, font-awesome gives you scalable vector icons that can instantly be customized — size, color, drop
