Is there a way to do an extended entry to where you do the first part of a post, expand the extended entry, then have the last part of the post? Or am I friggin crazy?
Top of post...
extended entry >>>
Bottom of post...
You mean besides the normal extended entry that you enter in the bottom part of the "new entry" screen?
Posted by Jennifer at October 29, 2003 03:44 AMYes, I have a long entry that I would like to collapse the middle.

I've never seen something like that before. Hence, it must be impossible 
Yes, using a collapsing text script like the one I use for links in my sidebar. Some problems are that you'll need to put the script reference in all of your templates (anywhere you want the collapsing text to work), I only know how to do it with lists so the collapsed stuff would be in a bulleted or numbered list, and it doesn't work for Mozilla browsers.
Interested?
