CS2.1 and Javascript

I've noticed thatwhen I double-click editable regions on the main page, and enter code for javascript in the HTML editor, it is stripped out when I save changes.

Is this a bug?  Why would the HTML editor strip out javascript?

If I am hearing you correctly, and I don't think I am but I'm not shy so I'll say it anyway , I think it is desired behaviour to stop people from including executable script in their posts.

example:

<a href="java script:alert('hello world' ) ">Click </a>

^^ remove the space between java and script and the post won't be accepted.

 

I am pretty sure this isn't what you are talking about though.... just in case!!!!

Thanks for the pointer, but I already knew about that one.

 

You have uncovered a bug in the configuration of TinyMCE's html cleanup logic.  This issue has been corrected post CS2.1 RC1.  TinyMCE will now validate against XHTML.

Note that even though TinyMCE (the editor used in CS2.1) will not strip SCRIPT tags, such content is still subject to any server-side HTML scrubbing that is enabled (as an example, for post content).

I hate to say it, but I've had enough.

CommunityServer has the potential to be a great product, but it's still a long ways away.

It's just not user-friendly enough, too difficult to modify, and not stable enough for prime-time.  I lost my main site with the ever-popular "We are unable to server your request" error.  It just died for no reason. I hadn't modified anything, or even touched it  in 3 days.

I'm going to have to move on to another CMS.  I may give CS another shot after the product becomes more user-friendly and stable.
