Emoticons: Lazy Loading
Everytime you load a page with the SCEditor, it creates ~31 server-requests for the emoticons. On the most pages with the editor you don't use the editor and if you do, you mostly don't open the smileys dropdown. I suggest that SCEditor should only load the emoticons when you open the dropdown.
An other option instead of lazy loading could be a sprite, but then you should offer a CSS-file with the names and positions of the emoticons, so you can use it in a (BBCode-)parser.
That it loads all emoticons directly? In all browsers I guess. At least in Firefox and IE.
Currently the editor pre-loads all the emoticons so it can do as you type emoticon conversion. If an emoticon isn't already loaded and the code for it is typed, it will just look like the code has just disappeared until the browser fetches the image.
An option to disable both as you type emoticon conversion and pre-loading could be added though.
I did think about allowing/using sprites but I wasn't sure if anyone would use it as they're a pain to maintain. It could be done though.
Hi, I know this is old but I'm having a similar issue. I'm using the CDN as described on the front page of the site...
It's trying to load /emoticons/blink.png, /emoticons/happy.png, /emoticons/sad.png, etc. I end up getting 30+ 404 errors in console because they don't exist in a locally relative path.
For example, it is trying to load https://mysite.com/emoticons/happy.png but since I'm using the CDN, the emoticons folder doesn't exist under https://mysite.com.
I think that instead of using a relative path for the PNG files in sceditor.min.js, a full URL should be used such as https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sceditor@3/emoticons/happy.png? Or is this by design?
