We don't need one of those here, Nou. I can pull stuff straight from the DB.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

After the first 5 days, I'm still in love. The category thing would be nice, but not essential. I miss spell check, but you'll all just have to live with my typos.

Moving the recs discussion over here -- it would be possible to adapt the link code to do recommendations reasonably easily.
The current link setup is that anyone can add a link, and delete/edit links they've added. Admins can delete/edit all links and create categories.
Is there anything much different that would be needed for fic recs?

What is it about the word "one" that made it disappear when it was "between" the <>s?
It was to stop people putting mischeivous JavaScript into things like links.
You can put
onmouseover="alert('bite me!')"into a link tag and it will pop up an alert every time the mouse goes over it, for instance.
So the code is "remove any word inside a tag starting with 'on'"

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
What about the t center thing?

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
So the code is "remove any word inside a tag starting with 'on'"
So, just curious, what did you do to change it? Make it "starting with 'onm'"?
John H - Sep 22, 2002 8:26:21 pm PDT #299 of 10000
Make it "starting with 'onm'"?
Or I could have made it start with just "om" and it would have been BuddhaScript instead of JavaScript.
No, we just delete it, so their code will just have:
alert('biteme')
in it, which won't do anything.
It's possible it will make some browsers confused, but I don't think so. Browsers just tend to ignore attributes they don't understand.

Checking to see if the .on. within a link would be deleted.
