In my website, the users have to enter markdown in a textarea, for which I am using a markdown editor. The problem is: it uses icomoon font, and my websites too. Both uses the same class to define the fonts, but not both uses the same icons. The question is simple: is there a way to define the editor.css for a special div?
Like that:
<div css="editor.css"></div>
Give the DIV a Class and then add a CSS file like this:
.markdown
{
color: red;
}
If you import a new css dynamic, the old styles will be overwritten.

You dont need multiple files. You can give the div an id or class like so
<div class="div1">
<span></span
...
</div>
and now in you css you do this
.div1 span{
font:(whatever font);
}
You can add a selector that namespaces your editor and allows you to style it:
<div class="editor-style">
<div id="cool-custom-editor">...</div>
</div>
In your css:
.editor-style .icon-thumbs-up { color: green; }
As mentioned in @adeneo's comment below your question there is the option of using scoped style tags.
Supposing your editor looks like this:
<div id="cool-custom-editor">...</div>
You can apply a specific style using the scoped attribute like so:
<div>
<style scoped>@import url(editor.css);</style>
<div id="cool-custom-editor">...</div>
<div>
According to can I use the scoped attribute is only natively supported by Firefox 26+.
If you want to use it you will have to polyfill:
I don't think so, no. At least not without using any js workarounds. The best solution would be to use kind of namespace for user-specific css classes.
No you can't do that.. I think you should solve the conflit by changing the icomoon class names in this file.
OK solved: renaming the classes in editor for icomoon was a lot easier than I dared tough.
not a good way but it can help:
$("[css]").each(function(i){
var elm = $(this);
$.when($.get(elm.attr("css"))).done(function(response) {
var newresponse=response.replace(/(.+{)/gi,".customCss"+i+" $1");
elm.addClass("customCss"+i);
elm.before('<style>'+newresponse+'</style>');
});
});
