Livejournal Breaks Something
Feb. 28th, 2009 01:49 amI'm guessing by Release #46 or something else from lj_releases that there was an undocumented change to the behavior of certain tags. I thought it was with <lj-cut>, but after some experimentation that wasn't it. Anyway, as a consequence of this change, my photo posts are now broken (that is to say, they will appear as empty posts).
Update: It was the <iframe> tag which broke; which LJ never supported anyway, but I relied upon LJ stripping it out for an elaborate hack which makes the outside of an <lj-cut> disappear when you view the inside of the cut. (It's a very clever piece of HTML origami I figured out.)
As an alternative, <div style='text-align: left; font-size:0; line-height:0; height:0; overflow:hidden;'> seems to work. So I've fixed my most recent post. (But not older stuff yet.)
