> Key: VALIDATOR-210
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-210
> Project: Commons Validator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0 Release
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Neil Sherman
> Assigned To: Niall Pemberton
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.3.1
>
>
> Various JavaScript functions contain JavaDoc comments at the start such as:
> /*$RCSfile: validateMaxLength.js,v $ $Rev: 376673 $ $Date: 2006-02-10
> 13:42:31 +0000 (Fri, 10 Feb 2006) $ */
> /**
> * A field is considered valid if less than the specified maximum.
> * Fields are not checked if they are disabled.
> * <p>
> * <strong>Caution:</strong> Using <code>validateMaxLength</code> on a
> password field in a
> * login page gives unnecessary information away to hackers. While it
> only slightly
> * weakens security, we suggest using it only when modifying a
> password.</p>
> * @param form The form validation is taking place on.
> */
> function validateMaxLength(form) {
> This causes the W3C tidy application to report the following:
> "<" + "/" + letter not allowed here
> Cause:
> The 2 characters "</" have been detected in a wrong place.
> Solution:
> In most case, this is due to wrong javascript:
> BAD <document.write("</h1>");
> GOOD <document.write("<\/h1>");
> References:
> W3C faq: http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-javascript
> HtmlHelp: http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script
> And thus produces illegal HTML.
> The proposed solution is to remove the offending tags.
