	How about a [spoiler] tag? Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Check out the following thread at the SDMB. See how they do spoilers using the

tags?

Can we get those here?

Thanks!

That's pretty cool.

click the mouse and drag over the black box, if you want to see whats behind it.

something tells me that this would be abused.

Why? The usual beatings should suffice.

How'd you do that, Grrr? I tried it earlier on Apolyton, but it didn't work. Let's try again...

I don't think that's necessarily abusing... after all, the spoiler tag is the subject of this thread. Thanks, Grrr!

I meant the use of the spoiler would be abused.

How'd I do that, I copied the source code from JohhT's site:

< table width=80% align=center border="1" cellpadding="2" bordercolor=black>< tr>< td>Spoiler:< /td>< /tr>
< tr>< td bgcolor=black>< font face="verdana" size="2" color="black">Message Here< /font>< /td>< /tr>< /table>

Take out space after each < and whop de doo:

<table width=80% align=center border="1" cellpadding="2" bordercolor=black><tr><td>Spoiler:</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor=black><font face="verdana" size="2" color="black">This source code was copied by Grrr!!, © 2002 Grrr!!</font></td></tr></table>

Yeah, Markos should implement this, seems nice. Just that it will be a terrible pain for the Mods .

You think the mods would stand for this, Solver?

Yeah - [spoiler] is cool
I think now the idea has surfaced it might well get used (in html) even if it is not implemented in vB

I say leave it as HTML, then we can far more imaginative than having a standardised one.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">function spoiler(msg) { alert(msg);}</SCRIPT>This is a so mush better way of doing it:
<A HREF=/forums/"java script:spoiler('Hehe...');">Spoiler</A>
I suggest that the following format should be used:
[spoiler=hidden text]Link Text[/spoiler]

Edit: It worked with the preview... I guess embedding scripts isn't the best way of using vB...

And if anyone abuses this, then maybe the normal punishment for the offensive material said in it could be doubled.

Interestingly Gramphos the first one works for me, but neither the same one in quotes nor the one below it work ...

You mean the second one, right? (not the one in which I define the function.)

It seems as if vB adds a space in the midle of javascript in most occations. I wonder why it missed the working one.

Yeah, went there . But we really need either of those.

However if people abuse it too much, we'll have to start banning for it.
