removing html from textarea

[diablo]

hi

i have seen several examples (blogs in particular)

http://www.lastkissed.com/?p=7#comments

where placing html into a textarea seems to be stripped out on the other
side. and yet retains some...

for example the above - i placed a </table> into the comment and submitted -
the <blockquote> came out as a block quote but the </table> seems to have
dissappeared.

is there a way i can do a similar box - ie so that if someone puts html into
it - it is stripped out?

thanks for help

When done properly, the form data filtering is performed server side
using available scripting language.
PHP has some HTML filtering functions built-in.
You can easily write a function utilizing the regular expressions to do
the job.

Hi

I have looked and looked - the consenus is to use reg expressions - here is
a good example-

http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/042501-1.shtml

but i cannot find anything that will aloow me to keep a certain set of tags
such as <b> and <blockquote> and <a href..>

is there any reg exp guru that could modify this

objRegExp.Pattern = "<(.|\n)+?>"

to be able to ignore certain tags?

thanks
