i'd like to put some images/text on my page that can only be accessed by those that know how. kind of like a thank you to everyone thats helped with the other aspects of my project. but personal enough to want to hide. im new at all of this so perhaps telling you the fisrt idea that i had will help me clarify.

my goal is to make the text/image available only for a few seconds or more, reverting back to something undecided yet. this way the personal info has no chance of being accidentally left on screen, being viewed in the history(i think thats how that works)

maybe a clickable button somewhere on the page, hidden and out of accidental-clicking range that i decided on who knew about. not necessary but being able to add music would be nice.

thank you thank you thank you.

You have a lot of question, may you repharse it more clearly ? With the invisible text you can you css with display:none attribute.

you have asked for invisible text, that can be done by making you content of same colour as that of your background colour, and in case of button i can't actually suggest anything but using css such that the button colour will also match with the background will do the effect.

It's a better practice to put any credits in to the HTML (or CSS, or Javascript) mark-up in a commented out section, usually at the top of the document or before/ after the accredited section.

However, if you're insistent on using a hidden system, then you will be best using Javascript. jQuery is a "lite", simple but extensive, Javascript framework and their website contains ample documentation and examples. The action would be applied to the button to change the attribute of the elements you wish to show or hide.

Your goal of using invisible text is not so clear. Why you want to still want to appear it even you want to apply invisible text???!!!!!

put the text in as a html comment?

Did you find a way to do this yet?

I did this on my site just using the build in dreamweaver tools.
