Remember if you show a User entered link, they can put any sort of _javascript_ or similar to do nasty things.
 
HTMLEditFormat() can be useful here, or some Replace() to remove the words script,document etc

P.S. I saw the shiny mac site caused more of a response then my request for a getElementByID version of
top.frame_a.document.form_a.field_a.value . Not surprising though 8-))

Subject: [cf-dev] [ cf-dev ] User adding their own links - Suggestions

Afternoon everyone,

 

I've been asked to create a few pages for a client which will allow them to add/edit/delete a list of 'useful' links on another page.

 

I'm sure this is a very common request but I was wonder what the best way of creating such a system would be. Any recommendations?

 

The clients who will be using this are completely non-technical/HTML users so the system has to be very simple.

 

Can they simply just add http://www.macromedia.com to a text field and that would do the trick OR is there something I should be aware of by doing it this way?

 

Appreciate your feedback.

 

Cheers,

JamesB
