In-Reply-To: <20030512182659.16940.qmail@www.securityfocus.com> I pasted your example code (< > converted to < > and the cr's removed ) into the name and text fields on my blog (ver 2.62 +patch) under the 2 basic security settings for comments -- with 'Allow html' off and with 'Allow html' on and the default santize specs (which allows only certain html tags) in both cases I got a very ugly comment -- js code rendered as text -- that did nothing to my page's display. Yes, you can turn santize off -- you can leave your front door unlocked too. Neither one is recomended. MT's default is 'Allow html' off, and you don't have to do anything special to turn santize on if you switch to allowing html.
