Tweak says, "Did someone say 'pizza'?"

Entry tags:

question: html/css, tools: html, tools: lj-cuts

I have a question about how to do the parentheses-less cut-tags. For example, the entry would look like this on the friends page, but when you click the link it takes you to the entry itself, like so, so that the "cut tag's" text is part of the entry. Anyone know/have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Okay, so! Here's the code I use:

"Link Text" would be the text of the "cut" ("If you see a friend without a smile..." in your example).

The text of the entry would go after the closing span tag.

Basically, what happens is that the span tags essentially hide the actual cut-tag (hence the "display:none" part). BUT the cut is still there, so you have to click the link in order to open the rest of the entry.

Did that make sense?

That's the view you'd see from the journal itself, with the pretty lyrics. The bolded lyric in the middle ("I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you") is the link. Click it, and you get to the entry.

	Oh, and I don't know if closing the lj-cut later is entirely necessary, but it's habit for me to close all my tags, so I stick it in there, anyway. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE: if you do close the cut-tag, anything you put after it will show up from the journal-view, beneath whatever you had put above the cut-tag.

	You're welcome! :) It always drove me crazy, wondering how to do it. I don't remember who I asked, but they were a godsend. :) And I'm always happy to spread the love. (Reply to this) (Parent)
