when you have the code the part that says <!--- cod provided by ---->
that will show up if you copy all the text from the box. Im not sure about any other site, but I know that myspace dosnt allow to have anything written like that and still have it remain hidden. so I was wondering if there was a way that you could edit it so it so it did have to be there.

suggestion
I would like to know if you could revise the tag or add a new one specifically for the sites that only allow the hidden messages to be in comments /*HIDDEN TEXT HERE*/ like to have the codebox tag that allows onluy for myspace and sites like it becuase the codebox code that you guys have now only allows for other sites like xanga and yeah.

just don't copy that part and you won't have to worry about it.

^ yeah. but on xanga...it doesn't show up so i never had this problem.

You could always just use the code tag to post html.



Although, the vertical scroll's gone. :[

For your information, <!-- and --!> are used for hidden messages only viewable when source is viewed, or when a file is being edited.

Those two open and close tags are NEVER shown in a working page.

Those tags are generally used for describining/organizing, writing hidden content.

for example:


I can have that message anywhere in my coding, so that if someone tries to view my source, they can view that message, or if I ever come across them copying my coding, I can always check to see if they left that in there.

It can also be used like so:



It's honestly not that hard to remove those tags when adding it to certain sites. If myspace doesn't allow it, it removes it anyway, correct? So no problems.

However, myspace does allow this form of hidden text:

However, the tags don't work on myspace, which is why he created this thread. I just placed it into my myspace, if you'd like to see proof. http://myspace.com/azarel Under the "People I'd Like To Meet" field.

I viewed your source, and I found tags you had in your html:



You do know that those specific tags are hidden tags and DO NOT show up in a working website when being viewed? They can only be viewed through source or if you're directly viewing the coding.

anyway, how you have them are wrong, by the way.

However, I copied and pasted directly from the codebox that Tom had posted. So it's not my html that's incorrect, but rather myspace's coding that messes it up.

Okay, so your point is what? It's still viewable, despite myspace having that snippet of coding altered each time it's used in coding.

Like I said, you can use the following, and not have any problems:



/* HIDDEN TEXT HIDDEN TEXT HIDDEN TEXT HIDDEN TEXT*/

Since I don't use cB myspace layouts etc, I don't have a problem with it, but I believe Tom was just bringing up the issue that the tag from cB codeboxes doesn't work correctly on myspaces. I don't know exactly what he was asking, but I think he was asking for a way to post html without having the <!-- --> tags there, to which I responded to just use the code tag.

However, you decided to go and be a know-it-all, which obviously didn't work out well, since you went and posted shit that wasn't relevent to myspace, which was the issue that Tom brought up in the first place. My, you've sure gotten really fucking cocky since you've been modded.

Sadly, it did work well, as I had posted an alternative that he could use, maybe you just didn't read all of my entry to see it:



NOTE THAT /* HIDDEN TEXT HIDDEN TEXT HIDDEN TEXT HIDDEN TEXT*/ WORKS IN MYSPACE, AND REMAINS UNALTERED UNLIKE THE OTHER HIDDEN TAG.

Also, my "attitude" or "cocky-ness" is irrelevent to the subject.

Like I said before, it seems he was asking about the automatic <!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --> <!-- end code provided by createblog.com --> tags associated with the codebox tag, not about hidden text.

Yeah, not about it saying provided by createblog.com, and since i am probably the most lazy person, it's just easier for me to click once, copy and paste, does xanga or other sites make text hidden, if the codebox where to display

/*begin code provided by Createblog.com*/
code here code here code here
/*end code provided by Createblog.com*/

The problem with that, of course, is that those style of comments don't work in HTML coding.

They do work... I've used them in my stylesheet for overrides for livejournal, and have used/seen them in myspace stylesheet.





You can also bring that up as a suggestion, or just include that in your own coding. The <!-- tags will get altered by myspace, whereas your tag will remain intact and whatnot.

Where do we ask for suggestions for the board?

THis forum ;)

You can always just add that bit to your first post, instead of creating a new thread... or just create a new thread I suppose?

^ i've made the suggestion on the first post.

Right--they work in CSS, but not HTML. /* and */ are CSS- (and C-) style comments.

Anyway, using the <!-- --!> still works in myspace, but ends up getting slightly altered and whatnot.

haha. I wasn't even thinking about my /* brackets. pshaw.
