Hello, I am not a developer.

That thing looked lovely. Do you think there is a way to keep the cursor from going into a text selection cursor when you hover over the text within the button. Perhaps by using the cursor: ... CSS thing? It doesn't matter too much though.

Otherwise it looks great! :)

P.S. Remember to check if the user types the file extension in themselves: if they do, then you shouldn't apend it again. You could do a regex: /\.html$/i To match it, and then you could use the .test() method to check if they have typed it in. To create the RegExp so that it can match any extension that you choose, you can use ext to store the extension you are testing against and then do new RegExp("\\." + ext + "$") to do that

What about something like this? http://jsfiddle.net/Airhogs777/9jnhmku6/embedded/result/

(I know it's hacky but it can be rewritten later)

pshh who needs usability when you have design (jkjk)

that was more of a proof of concept for the inputbox than the buttons anyway 📦

Yes, that is what I had in mind. Well Done everybody!

Out of interest, are you guys accepting any more developers

How's this look? It's less sketchy than the last version: http://jsfiddle.net/Airhogs777/7hb4tj8a/

Ctrl+a will show the file extension is also before the file name as well as after. It's a clever trick for centering everything nicely, but I'd be great if there was a better solution...

Once we know how wide the extension text is, we could probably use relative positioning or a transform
