Unwanted HTML validation check in civicrm/admin/uf/group editor
December 26, 2007, 05:59:22 pm
Folks,

In versions previous to 1.9 (and probably until at least 1.7) you could put HTML tags into the Pre-form and Post-form Help fields.  This is not possible in 1.9 AFAICT; the validator now whines

Code: [Select]
Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:
    * Illegal characters in input (potential scripting attack)
Any one know how to stop the whining?

Also, is this a feature or a bug?  I can fix this on my local installations, but I'm not sure if the CiviCRM folks will want the patch.

This never made it into production :). I assume u installed civicrm from svn. I rolled this back from v1.9 yesterday since it was generating spurious errors like the below

Yep.  I discovered your reversion of 12688 when I started diffing my patch.

Your fix was a lot simpler (since most of the xssString related code is buried so deep in QuickForm), so I'm goin' with it.
