html validator next
I'm going to be installing an html filter tonight on our page editor routine. I don't think very many people have used that function yet, but if there are any errors in my coding, some or all of your html on the top of your page banner area could get filtered out. You may want to make sure you have a local copy before you update your page again.. I've got a few pages that I'll copy, and Syncro and humblegunner may want to copy theirs. Well, heck, I may just go ahead and make a local copy of theirs too.

The new html filter will allow only the standard page formatting codes, such as: b big blockquote br center div em font h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 hr i li ol p s small strong table tr td th u ul, etc. Also: a href, img and table.

Unfortunately, the various browsers are full of security risks and holes, especially IE, so we're going to have to block things like script, style, form, input, button, mouse functions, object, etc. Basically, anything that has known security risks.

I'm going to try to figure out if we can keep some limited audio capability. For now, we're using youtube for video.

I'm installing this first phase of html filtering on our user page editing program because we haven't used it much. I'm also working on installing an html validator routine. After we get these two routines developed and tested on the user page editing program, I'll work them into the posting programs so we can start using HTML throughout for posting.

Some of this info will end up in our sandbox, user guide and FAQ after it's developed, tested and released.

Just found out via testing that if you forget a closing quote, you can lose some of the following code and text until it finds one further down the page. Well, you'll get strange results, anyway.
