in reply to Let users link in a javascript library

To add to what tye says, I'd like html filtering to be mandatory (or at the very very least, the default, retroactively set for all current monks).

AIUI, the homenode thing basically means deciding which additional elements and attributes we want to allow on homenodes (plus a SMOP to implement it).

    In response to private messages, yes, either of these changes would need to be well advertised. But there's no point in doing so until someone steps forward to do the work. And until someone does, we really oughtn't advocate that people allow perlmonks to execute javascript.

      For the sake of clarity, my proposal to properly filter javascript requires filtering HTML as well. So, yes, if you want to see what is going to happen, go to User Settings and turn on "Filter HTML of monks' homenodes".

      My impression is that the allowed tags are already pretty much where they can and should be.

      As a first step, we should turn on this setting for AnonyMonk (not as easy at one might guess, since I've tried before and failed). Another attempt is now on the top of my to-do list.

        I guess I'm misremembering, then. I thought we'd discussed allowing a broader range of things on homenodes. I wouldn't be drastically opposed to being restrictive initially, then seeing what people clamor for, but in principle I'd like to see monks have more artistic freedom on their homenode.

        In my previous response, I was assuming you meant just the Perl Monks Approved HTML Tags. I'd forgotten there were the additional tags allowed for homenodes. What are your concerns about external imgs? They'd allow ipaddr logging; is there any other concern?
