HTML Mystery

October 20th, 2005

This is a little challenge for the web designers and programmers
among you. I’ve developed a little webpage (well, little is probably an
exaggeration since it’s nothing more than a HTML comment.). Yet this
page isn’t blank - it’s got text, images and rollover effects. The
question is, how is it done?

If you’ve worked out how it’s done, leave a comment but don’t spoil it for everyone else :)

    Well it just seems to be a blank page in Safari. :)

    At a poor guess we can’t see in the source what’s doing it because it involves php or something.

    I know but only because i cheated ;)
    I must admidt that I didn’t think you were able to do that… :)

    @Jasidog
    PHP wouldn’t be able to hide something from the source like that ;)

    This has nothing to do with your link but I have to say this:
    if you change blog software you should make sure your old rss link
    still works. I haven’t gotten any updates since August and I didn’t
    notice until today :-(

    you do have a feed, right?

    (sorry for the double-post)

    Sorry, I should have redirected it. The new RSS feed can be found at:

    Improved the aesthetics - removed the red and added a background image.

    It seems like quite a few people have worked it out - I’ll post a full solution and explanation later.

    I think I’ve figured it out now too. Mind posting the answer so I can see if I was correct?

    Go on then :)

    Just like #3/Skov I didn’t knew one was able to do that… well more precisely I didn’t knew the browser would take it. Though I wouldn’t consider looking at that “place” cheating. I do that all the time.

    Link: ; REL=”stylesheet”; MEDIA=”screen”

    I found it :P

    Yup just like Juan said, a header is being sent which is refrencing to the nocode.css file which then has the display and hover and such things.

    Found it when viewing the cache entry in firefox’s about:cache.

  16. # Digoryon 23 Jun 2008 at 6:03 pm

    It doesn’t work in safari. So….I can’t really guess what is happening.
