I tend to use Ray's StripHTML...

http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=12

And then something like...

<CFLOOP COLLECTION="#FORM#" ITEM="itmField">
        <CFSET "FORM.#itmField#" = StripHTML(FORM[itmField])>
</CFLOOP>

On the action page...

The only thing you need to watch out for Is that if you are uploading
files these should not be in the loop so <CFIF> them out...

Subject: securing forms/user input


In a past life I've done this before, but I was hoping somebody could
give me a refresher. How are you guys generally dealing with people
entering things like:

<IMG SRC="javascript:alert('unsecure')">

into text inputs on your websites? Do you just use
#htmlEditFormat(form.myField)# on the action page? Does anyone have an
online resource, or possibly a custom tag that deals with issues such as
these? Going live with a few sites next week and want to make sure I
have all my bases covered with the $cr1p7 k1dd13 H4X0RZ!!!!
