Strip dangerous tags

[BLG]

Hi,

I have a lot of different web applications that display data that comes from a database that is updated by an interface which allows any characters.

Since the data is used in hundreds of web pages I was wondering if it was possible to have a generic function that strips out anything that I determine is a dangerous tag.

I thought about ISAPI but does anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks very much.

Create a function in a class file that will do what you want. Then just instantiate the class on the pages where you need it. Then call your function as needed.

Or an alternative (Jim's method would be easier to implement though) is to use Page Inheritance and in your Page Base class, simply call that function (therefore any page that inherits from this class will automatically have them stripped out).

Thanks guys,
Since these web applications already exist, we're trying to avoid changing every page in the organisation.

Is there anything we can do from the web server?

No, you'll have to do something at page level if the existing applications have not been developed to take into account something like this.

Thanks very much. I've decided to take ca8msm suggestion and write an inherits page and start dishing out overtime!

Cheers.
