I have no idea if they would work in an actual entry, I just picked the first words to come to mind. :-)

We've done this…

If you are a Mozilla and Xcolibur user then no, they won't. The entry view in Xcolibur contains a DOCTYPE which switches Mozilla into strict mode, which means you have to use either one of the 16 defined colour names or a hex triplet.

No, we haven't

I'm not one of them there Mozilla users and you're answering a question that was never asked (or something). All I meant was that I had no idea if those words would result in anything if I put them into my LJ as an entry as the sort-of-meme demanded. Since yesterday's experiment seems to prove that a lot of words do come out coloured in my particular setup, I will just have to try it and see, won't I?

It wasn't a meme at all! It was a piss-take of the current craze for "I put all the names of my friends in funny colours"! And boy, did it backfire. :-}

Oh, no, I knew it wasn't a real one. Your leet skills bit gave that away. That's why I put sort-of and why I didn't actually obey it. (And why my words aren't exactly meaningful or sensible either.) I apologise for my husband's turning this into a browser rant. :-)

Netscape == Mozilla

Sorry, brain the wrong way round. What I meant to say was `We've done this. Yes they will, because LJ's recent-entries view does not contain a DOCTYPE which switches Mozilla into strict mode.'

I have IE on this machine too, you know (spit). And for these coloured entries have been using it on and off to see if it makes a difference. Anyway, you're dissecting a joke too much. Stop it.

They were coloured here.
