Sorry for the newbie question, but I didn’t managed to find a way to check if a textbox with html formatting options (like the one I’m writing this post, for istance) is working properly…
For example, I would like to check if pressiong the “bold” button, the written text is… well, bold
Thank you for your suggestions
I didn’t meant to sound worried or in an hurry, I was just asking for a direction to be pointed at and that the reason I wasn’t too much specific… I just needed to know if it was technically possible to do what I needed or not, that’s it!
It’s certainly possible, it just depends on how the tool actually manipulates the DOM behind the scenes. If we take a look at part of @Russ_Thomas’s post:
He has the word “rendered” italicized. If you inspect the HTML for the word:
you can see that the word is wrapped in an <em> tag.
While your particular editing widgets might behave differently, you should still be able to test this by looking at the HTML directly (Russ’s second option).
