*ahem* You're welcome. ;)
Aaron and Lindsay proved to be *very* helpful in adding the extra
functionality I was lacking, though. Thanks again -- you guys rock!

The original script only looks at the <span>s WITHIN <td id="content">.
I left out the .className check since I don't plan on using the <span>
tag in my blog posts for anything except the filter, but to add the
custom class functionality to it (for extra caution), you'd just have to
add a little if statement like this:
-------- OLD WAY --------
function censor() {
// free for use, but maintain credit.
// written by Ken Kogler (kenkogler.com)
// with some help from Aaron Boodman
// (youngpup.net) and Lindsay Evans
var totalSpans = content.getElementsByTagName("span").length;
spans = document.body.getElementsByTagName("span");
if (document.styleForm.swearFilter.checked) {
for (i=0;i<totalSpans;i++) {
spans[i].oldInnerHTML = spans[i].innerHTML;
spans[i].innerHTML = spans[i].oldInnerHTML.replace(/./g, "*");
}
} else {
for (i=0;i<totalSpans;i++) {
spans[i].innerHTML = spans[i].oldInnerHTML;
}
}
}
------- / OLD WAY --------
-------- NEW WAY --------
function censor() {
// free for use, but maintain credit.
// written by Ken Kogler (kenkogler.com)
// with some help from Aaron Boodman
// (youngpup.net) and Lindsay Evans
var totalSpans = content.getElementsByTagName("span").length;
spans = document.body.getElementsByTagName("span");
if (document.styleForm.swearFilter.checked) {
for (i=0;i<totalSpans;i++) {
if (spans[i].className = 'badWord') { // <-- ***NEW LINE***
spans[i].oldInnerHTML = spans[i].innerHTML;
spans[i].innerHTML = spans[i].oldInnerHTML.replace(/./g,
"*");
}
}
} else {
for (i=0;i<totalSpans;i++) {
spans[i].innerHTML = spans[i].oldInnerHTML;
}
}
}
------- / NEW WAY --------
Anyway, this little experiment was a rousing success -- thanks to all
who helped me out! Maybe I'll turn this into my first article for
evolt... Depends on how much homework I have this week! :)
