Oh! Oh! Cool!

First let me get this out of the way:

Don't send flowers on the day before Valentine's Day just because it's cheaper than on the 14th.

And now...

Highlight the area below to read it. ^_^

I saw this method used, just now, on one of my communities. (Will it work? Is it working?) The commentor wanted to hide spoiler information.

Maybe I'll start hiding secret messages in here for some of you... . Hee-hee.

And... good news! The car insurance money comes next week, and the number is much much bigger than I thought it would be! It has a comma! {sits on hands to avoid going on a spree}

Well, for default users, it should work well enough.

However, some people view other people's comments pages in their own journal style for whatever reason ("xxxx.html?style=mine"). If their backgrounds are dark, then the text shows up as, well, white text.

Still, I think that's only a vanishingly small minority. Besides, it's much easier to just highlight anyway.

^^ It's neat!

Yay for car insurance money! I thought that the kid wanted to keep the insurance company out of it? *may be remembering wrong*

Yaye car insurance!

Cut spoilers/"sensitive" material, don't make it white. Some people have bgs which will expose it.

*waves hello*

It's working. I think as long as it's placed under an LJ-cut it should work for all viewers regardless of their custom LJ styles.

Nice to meet you!
