How about a [spoiler] tag? - Page 3

Ari Rahikkala · May 10, 2002, 07:22

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but the text in spoiler tags can't be viewed through painting in Opera (version 6.0 B1 Linux). This tag would be bad for browser interoperability...

You WILL use IE... You WILL.

Urban Ranger · May 10, 2002, 08:36

Oh no, another Bill-drone

Hey, Opera let me edit my post when I accidentally commented out the rest of this thread. IE didn't let me.

Well, I remember old UBB, where I played with tables some times, and one day I actually go my post on top of the page, over the table header...

I remember in another forum where someone made the entire thread scroll across the page

Then someone else tried to fix it, and ended up making it go across twice as fast

I like it.

Is it seriously screwing with stuff? I see the dark block at the bottom of the page, but the thread still reads fine...

Mercator · May 11, 2002, 18:17

How about this?

It doesn't quite work the way I hoped it would, and it probably only works for IE, but you get the idea. I imagine this could be done more elegantly if the <SCRIPT> tag would work properly, or using PHP (?).

<A href="#" onClick='((document.all.hidden.style.display=="non e") ? (document.all.hidden.style.display="") : (document.all.hidden.style.display="")); return false;'>spoiler...</A>
<DIV id="hidden" style="display: none">This really isn't all that interesting.

</DIV>

I don't think that can be done with PHP...

I would if it was possible - IE is a great browser, perhaps the best I know. Too bad Windows isn't the best OS that I know and I prefer a good OS over a good browser.. I guess this all means that I'll have to start using Lynx again

only the left margin.

Urban Ranger · May 12, 2002, 22:35

Nah. The rows got shifted to the right.

Immortal Wombat · May 13, 2002, 05:27

The right margin looks the same to me. Straight line down, interrupted by my empty post.

Scouse Gits · May 13, 2002, 06:22

You know, IW, a deliberate attempt to wreck a forum might just get you PCRed back down to Warlord

- maybe I should tell Kermit?

Immortal Wombat · May 13, 2002, 08:19

It wasn't an attempt to "wreck" the forum, for one of those, see this thread.
If Ming, Markos, or Dan ask me to remove it, I will, but its interesting to see its effect. Which isn't all that huge from what I can see.

Scouse Gits · May 13, 2002, 08:34

OK, IW - I believe that you were totally uninfluenced by:

Quote:

and I'm sure Uncle Kermit will believe it too.

Thanks for the reference - now that is a wrecked thread!!
and- yes - at least on IE there does not appear to be too much damage ...

Immortal Wombat · May 13, 2002, 08:57

well yes, I was influenced by that, but I was certain thanks to previous tests that commenting out the entire thread would be almost impossible, so I wished to see its effect.

Grrr · May 13, 2002, 15:22

All the stuff below my post was put into my post, and all posts thereafter were ignored.

Immortal Wombat · May 13, 2002, 17:17

Brilliant.

And that was an accident??

MarkG · May 13, 2002, 18:30

/me thinks IW should play with html outside of this forum. if he needs help geting out of the forum MarkG will be happy to help

Skanky Burns · May 13, 2002, 23:57

Good to see its fixed again

Immortal Wombat · May 14, 2002, 11:02

/me thanks MarkG for his offer, but declines it graciously, and noted that future html fun will be conducted elsewhere.

Kassiopeia · May 14, 2002, 11:06

Me wonders if this little spoiler idea works;

SPOILER:
<hr>
You shouldn't read this
<hr>

This does have it's downsides; you have to match the color with the one your post will be in... call it a "Poor Man's Spoiler Tag".

Chowlett · May 14, 2002, 12:42

no, it doesn't. But only because you got the colour wrong.

Besides, it wouldn't work for people in other styles.
