Editor stripping out code

TS 7.3

Hi all,

I have an image map that uses some script to open a dialog box via the "rel" tag.
[html]
<script src="/js/jquery.tools.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"></script>

[/html]
However, a user noticed this, and I confirmed...

Each time I put the "rel" tag in, upon generate, it is stripped out...

Why is the editoring do this, and is there a solution to this?

If you are using TinyMCE, it always strips out code. I really would not want that put in by a DCR editor anyway.

You can google tinymce strips out javascript

However I would put it in the XSL/TPL

Presumably this is TinyMCE - yes?
Is this in a DCR or a Page / Component?
If you search through the forum you'll find a number of threads that talk about this kind of issue and it all comes down to configuration - there are two different ways to configure this, one depends on whether or not you specify the external-editor-config in your DCTs, the other one should work in either situation.

I don't remember the exact details - but you have to find the location to add allowed or accepted elements and attributes so that they don't get stripped.

Thx...

I will look in the tinyMCE config code.

yes, this is directly in a DCR
and it is too far down the line to modify the templates...

Yea, well when someone adds some JS like this to a DCR, the road will seem very long:

[php]

<script>
while(true)
{
window.open("http://www.google.com");
}
</script>

[/php]

Maybe I missed something, but I thought OP was asking how to retain the "rel" attribute on "area" tags... to which the answer would be updating the extended_valid_elements parameter for TinyMCE.

I didn't think the script tag was actually intended to be part of the user input. As mentioned, allowing script tags in TinyMCE would be a terrible idea (not to mention I don't think it works reliably, because anything within the tag still gets cleaned as HTML). But adding it for just this piece of JS would be absolutely ridiculous. If all you need is the $('area[rel]').overlay() call, then put it in the header of every page and it just won't match anything when you don't have image maps on it, at negligible cost. Also consider that, if you had two image maps, you wouldn't want to put this on the page twice (or worse, develop complicated deduplication logic)...
