Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I meant that we could change the white-plus-sign to transparent and it would do what it's currently doing as well as the spoiler font stuff.
Yup. Change white-plus-sign to transparent, substitute the font replacement in quickedit to an enclosing white-plus-sign div. Easy peasy.
Actually, IIRC, you'd want to use a SPAN tag, not a DIV. A DIV puts its contents in its own paragraph, at least in some browsers (I'm too lazy to check the spec). SPAN does not.
eta: I typed:
<font size="-2">I can't "do" this</font>
and I end up with:
I cant do this
the HTML changes to:
<font size='-2' >I cant do this</font >
Dang, tommyrot discovered the scare quotes gobbler I snuck into the code.
Nah, That's a bug.
OK, span is more better than div, for this purpose. Unfortunately, transparent is giving me a hard time for text color attribute. She don't want to work in some browsers. Grr. I'll try to craft an expression() to grab the bgColor, after work.
Crafting expressions makes us browser dependent, doesn't it? If we can control changing the background colour in a style sheet, we can control changing the definition of the spoiler class/style/whatever.
I'd just go that way.

I was trying to post a link to a google results page. Does this mean I was doing something wrong, or that the server choked on something?
The server choked on something weird in the link. If you still have that link around, you could maybe send it to my profile addy, so I can see how to protect us from it happening again.
eta: Got your link. Thanks aurelia.
It looks fine, to me: [link]
... doesn't choke now, so I'm going with the malevolent gamma rays theory.
further edit: ita, that makes sense. I just added the span to the replacement regex, then. There was already a "spoiler" class in the css, so I used it.
In music, attempting to post, I got the following screen:

And when I clicked refresh, I got:
There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.
Okay, where the $$&(@#& are the developers?
Were you trying to post a link? What sort of post was it?
There was a link in there, but it wasn't just a link -- it was two responses to board quotes (using the > shortcut), including a link in my response. I used the a href for the link -- could that be the problem?
