Forum editing menu: spoiler tags

[SparkleFur]

Hello,

The built in tags for "spoiler" - indicated by the crossed-out eye icon - do not work. They enter the tags <spoiler> and </spoiler> - but I have been informed that the tags must read <ispoiler> and </ispoiler>.

[SPOILER]
Example text marked using menu button
[/SPOILER]


Text hidden by editing the spoiler tag


I don't know if the menu shortcuts can be edited; perhaps they are baked in. But I thought I'd mention it. Seems like an especially unfortunate tag to malfunction - and it's embarrassing when you don't know it's wrong.

Interesting. It's hidden behind the button ... but I can't un-hide it. It's just the button.

Apparently the bbs code is trying to display the spoiled text in a popup dialog box, but it isn't. Maybe the default popup blocking in Firefox is preventing it?

<br />
<input type="button" value=" spoiler test " name="B1" onClick="alert('<br />
This text is a spoiler.<br />

@Manu?

Hmm. I'm using Duck Duck Go for my browser, just to add to the fun. So I'm getting the popup box ok. So maybe yours is being blocked?

I noticed if you add the optional display text, it did display that text (in a box!) but then never shows what us hidden.

Then if you add the "i" to "spoiler" it all works.

Should display "Top Secret Text" :




Top Secret Text

Oh, I see what you're saying... that's what the malfunctioning boxed text is. But the weird thing is, if you change the tag to be "ispoiler", then the spoiler part works but the display text does not.

There is apparently a difference in syntax/functionality between the two tags - maybe the one that hides the text properly does not accept a display string as an argument? Perplexing.

(Why "i" + spoiler, I ask myself. Hmm.)

The one that fuzzes it becomes clear when I click it. The one that encloses it in a clickable box does nothing when I click it - no dialog(ue) box, and I'm using DuckDuckGo. I don't think I've ever used spoilers, so I haven't had to wrestle with this problem.

In a nutshell

The spoiler button inserts the wrong tag. Site owners need to change it to use

[ ispoiler ]...[ /ispoiler ],
will fix.
Till then - manual tag insertion

(Site owners - Remove extra space in tags when modifying the tag)

Edit - this (spoiler button functionality) is not a new issue

Yes! My thoughts exactly. Great minds and all that. Ha ha
