    Embedding javascript into posts

    Hi

    Does vB officially allow the embedding of javascripts into posts? For instance, embedding

    Code:
    [LEFT][COLOR=#007700][FONT=monospace]<[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB][FONT=monospace]script type[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][FONT=monospace]=[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#DD0000][FONT=monospace]"text/javascript" [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB][FONT=monospace]src[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][FONT=monospace]=[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#DD0000][FONT=monospace]"[URL]http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js[/URL]"[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][FONT=monospace]>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB][FONT=monospace]</script>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace] [/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]
    into a post.

    If there's no official support, then can this still be achieved?

    Thanks

    No, allowing js or html is insanely dangerous. You can allow html, but I'm pretty sure we try to supress most javascript.

      The way we do it is via a custom BBcode via a plugin.
      That way we get full safe control of the content but can apply a .js as needed.

      I wrote a how to here: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...-vB4-1-8-howto

        So are you already embedding javascripts in posts with that method?

            If HTML is enabled for a usergroup then yes Javascript would generally work in a post. However HTML is not enabled on this site and we don't recommend any customer ever enable HTML, it just isn't safe. Some customers do enable it but only for Administrators. It would be absolutely nuts to enable it for regular users.

            BB Codes are a way to try and make safe JavaScript accessible to all users if there is a need.
