Hiding the Story field on the Question side in Anki - vgambit - 2008-12-27
I want to change the Question side of my Heisig deck to have the Kanji followed by the word "Story." I want to be able to click the word "Story" and have it change into whatever is in the Story field, so I can use it when I can't recall the kanji from just the keyword (like Heisig recommends).
However, I can't figure out how to do this. Would I have to use Javascript?

I use that Anki Heisig deck with the clickable keyword that takes you to the relevant story on this page. Isn't that the default?

Yes, but that's different. What you're describing requires an internet connection. What I'm describing uses the text from the Story field in the Anki deck itself, so it requires no internet connection. I switched from SuperMemo to Anki, and after copying over every single story I had in SuperMemo to Anki, I found that none of them actually showed up unless I was on the edit deck screen, which makes them quite useless for aid during review.
I keep my stories offline rather than online.

Figured it out.
<FONT onClick="this.innerHTML = '%(text:Story)s'">Story</FONT>
Paste that code wherever you want, and it will show up as the word Story. Click on the word, and it will change to whatever you have in the Story field of the current kanji (so if the Story field is blank, it will simply disappear). The first "Story" is the name of the field whose contents will be displayed, whereas the second "Story" is what the trigger will show up as on the card.
For anyone who has been displaying the story field on the question side as white text, then highlighting it in order to read it, that code is much better. I'm gonna test it on Ankimini (which is what I really wanted it to work for) now.
IT WORKS PERFECTLY ON ANKIMINI
This is so awesome. Now I can do all of my reviewing *offline*.

I ran this code and it took over my computer! It's a virus trojan hack everybody, don't use it.
Edit: (I was kidding here, BTW. ;p)

Something I noticed is that this story hiding system tends to mess up when there is puntuation (specifically an apostrophe or quote) in the story field.

I think Highlighting is good enough, it should be done so seldomly that it doesn't really matter how long it takes to do it. That also means you can just highlight the beginning of the story to get your memory working, with a button you have to show it all.

The ipod has no highlighting function.

That would avoid the punctuation problem.

"On click change foreground color" would mean that I would have to randomly press the Ankimini screen in order to get the story to show up, because there is no cursor to change to an I when I'm hovering over text.vgambit Wrote:Something I noticed is that this story hiding system tends to mess up when there is puntuation (specifically an apostrophe or quote) in the story field.Why not 'on click change foreground color' ?

To get a similar result I changed the default text-color of the Story field to the background color. The text can be read by selecting it with the mouse.
