Creating a node with spoilers is a challenge

A slightly different problem than my previous post .. creating a post with the spoiler tags already in place means that, after a preview, the spoiler is .. hidden. And if I click on the link to reveal the spoilers, my post disappears (yay for the Back button).

No problem, I ended up replacing the spoiler tags with text like spoiler here soon, and made sure to put the spoiler tags back in once I as done editing.

G'day Alex, You're right: this is a minor annoyance. I usually just preview without the 'spoiler' tags (or placeholders for them). When I'm happy with the post, I add the tags and preview again. When previewing a post with 'readmore' tags, the markup looks like this: `<div class="readmore"> ... </div>` [download] Perhaps something similar (with `class="spoiler"`) would be appropriate for 'spoiler' tags. -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

G'day Alex,

Perhaps something similar (with class="spoiler") would be appropriate for 'spoiler' tags.
