Hi there - I have it in the handle as shown below - but the javascript 
still executes,

so , if i put <script>alert...</script> in the logname field on the form - 
the alert comes up and then the form processes correctly.  I'm just trying 
to prevent the alert or whatever js code is in there maliciously from 
executing. 


<cfif isdefined("form.logname")>
  <cfquery name="getuser" datasource="#application.dsn#">
    select * from t_s1 u, t_s2 x where id = 
'#htmleditformat(form.logname)#' and u.id = x.id
  </cfquery>

Cindi,

You need to use HTMLedit format in the handler... where's the code that
takes the Post request and does something with it?

New to the cross site scripting arena - trying to prevent users from
entering javascript into form fields and the javascript from executing.

Pretty much anything goes in the form fields - so  I am trying to add
htmleditformat to my code - but the javascript is still executing when I

click submit.  What am I doing wrong??

No matter what, anytime I put in some script code into the ID input box -

the JS gets executed.

code:

<form action=3D"index.cfm" method=3D"POST" name=3D"myForm">
<cfoutput>
    <tr><td align=3D"right" class=3D"text9">
       Enter ID:</td><td><input type=3D"text" name=3D"logName"
value=3D"#HtmlEditFormat(VARIABLES.logName)#" size=3D"12"></td></tr>

</cfoutput>
 <tr><td align=3D"center" colspan=3D"2" >
    <input type=3D"submit" name=3D"submit" id=3D"subbtn" title=3D"Submit"

value=3D"Submit" />
 </td></tr>

 </FORM>
