I'm looking to incorporate an icon into my web pages using a chrome extension - how can I do

I have developed a Chrome extension that highlights phone numbers on web pages and now I want to add an icon at the end of each highlighted number. I am considering two options:

  1. Utilizing font awesome icons.
  2. Using .ico files.

However, I encountered an issue with font awesome icons as they are appearing as blank squares when using unicodes or not rendering at all with the fa-phone class. This could be due to certain sites not supporting font awesome icons, but I'm unsure how to resolve this problem.

If using font awesome is not feasible, I would like to explore adding .ico files within <span> tags instead. How can I achieve this?

Answer №1

My knowledge of creating extensions is limited, but I understand that web pages are primarily created using HTML and CSS.

To display icons with FontAwesome, you should first link it to the page and then insert the corresponding HTML code.

If the icons are not appearing, it could be because the CSS file is not linked to the page along with the HTML code. It is essential to ensure that the CSS file is linked for the icons to show up properly.

An example of linking the CSS file to the page (which requires hosting the CSS file) is shown below:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">

Alternatively, you can upload the CSS file within the extension itself to avoid fetching it from an external site, which is a recommended approach.
