Sure. You can also post JavaScript, which is what I suspect you really mean. Or vbScript, C, C++, BASIC, Perl, PHP, or even -- heaven forbid -- COBOL. Uh, none of it will execute, though.  |

JavaScript is client side, not server side so it works unless script tags are removed but eh still ways around it. *cough*XSS*cough* |

LOL. JavaScript is a bit like a hammer. It can be used to build beautiful things, but it can just as easily be used to destroy. You'll forgive me, I hope, if people entering my home are asked to check their hammers at the door? You won't find many forums, I suspect, that even allow HTML to be posted. Because, yes, there are always ways to circumvent limitations, especially when HTML is allowed. Which inevitably just leads to more and stricter limitations. Trust me, you don't want to go there. |

I'm sure your intent is honorable and harmless. But, no. There isn't any valid reason to open that door. |

Yes Ron, there are so many security issues with HTML, JavaScript and along all other WebApplications (CGI, PHP, ASP, Mod_Perl, etc) Luckly almost all sites are created on ServerSide Scripting which drastically takes away the 'script kiddie' affect, though it's still undoublty suspectable to Client Side attacks (session hijacking, SQL Injections, etc). I myself, legally, perform integrity tests on webservers and websites as part of a business (though it's free, so it wouldn't really be free... I guess you could call it the GPL of business's). So I tend to get alot of vulnerable websites mostly (Thank god for people updating so I don't have to deal with them yelling at me about their Webserver/IrcServer/FTPServer.) Im actually working on a PHP Based FTP Client now, I'll release it here when Im finished with it |

Ron, You mentioned being able to post Java. Does that mean we could post Java applets? I have a piece of software that I think could help story-writers in developing settings for their stories. Check out the <a href="/pip/Forum3/HTML/003670.html">post </a>at the announcements forum. Any idiot can see that the result is true. |

Read it a little more closely, Kevin, and you'll have your answer. No script, in any language, will execute in a post. To allow that would be a HUGE security hole. |

long time since i've been here, came back because i got noticfication of 2 replys. I really meant JavaScript which I have learned along with XML, HTML, XHTML, & C++ (mostly). I'm learning Java as a dual credit course next school semester after school (because I didn't have time during class to take it and it's online). Heh heh, useing java here. *destruction!* Vagabon the Lost One |
