How about a [spoiler] tag?

[JohnT]

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

Can we get those here?

Thanks!

WTF are those Black Boxes "Spoilers" for John?

[asleepathewheel]

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.

Click and drag your mouse over them. See?

Why? The usual beatings should suffice.

<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 is actually an interesting feature</font></td></tr></table>

how do you actually do this?

[JohnT]

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

Spoiler:

Does this work?

[JohnT]

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 does it work, anyway?

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>

[JohnT]

<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">Uh.... well, yeah... I knew how to do that... really.... I just forgot....</font></td></tr></table>

[Grrr]

<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">Yeah Right John.</font></td></tr></table>

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