Detect HTML

[cbk1994]

I made this quickly for my message system that used GUIs.

I'll probably eventually make it simply remove the HTML, but for now it's a way to tell if they inputted HTML.

An example is if you have a GUI message system, and someone massed <img src="block.png"> for example. You could disable HTML, but then if you needed colors, etc, you couldn't use them.

The way I used it was this:

PHP Code:

if ( player.chat.starts( ":mass" ) )
  {
    temp.txt = player.chat.substring( 5 ).trim();
    temp.h = removeHTML( temp.txt );
    triggerserver( "gui", name, "massMessage", temp.h );
  } 


Here is the class.

Script for class functions_removehtml:

PHP Code:

public function removeHTML( text )
{
  this.html = { "a", "b", "body", "br", "center", "font", "hl", "hr", "i", "ignorelinebreaks", "img", "p", "spam", "ul", "ol", "li", "div" };

  for ( temp.a : this.html )
  {
    temp.n = "<" @ temp.a;
    if ( text.pos( @ temp.n ) > -1 )
    {
      temp.p = ( text.pos( @ temp.n ) );
      text = text.substring( 0, temp.p ) @ text.substring( temp.p + 1 );
    }
    temp.n = "</" @ temp.a;
    if ( text.pos( @ temp.n ) > -1 )
    {
      temp.p = ( text.pos( @ temp.n ) );
      text = text.substring( 0, temp.p ) @ text.substring( temp.p + 1 );
    }
  }
  return text;
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
public function removeHTML( text )
{
  this.html = { "a", "b", "body", "br", "center", "font", "hl", "hr", "i", "ignorelinebreaks", "img", "p", "spam", "ul", "ol", "li", "div" };

  for ( temp.a : this.html )
  {
    temp.n = "<" @ temp.a;
    if ( text.pos( @ temp.n ) > -1 )
    {
      temp.p = ( text.pos( @ temp.n ) );
      text = text.substring( 0, temp.p ) @ text.substring( temp.p + 1 );
    }
    temp.n = "</" @ temp.a;
    if ( text.pos( @ temp.n ) > -1 )
    {
      temp.p = ( text.pos( @ temp.n ) );
      text = text.substring( 0, temp.p ) @ text.substring( temp.p + 1 );
    }
  }
  return text;
} 


It's a very simple script, but I figured someone might get some use out of it. When I make it remove HTML, I will update it.

Feel free to leave feedback!
Thanks,

EDIT: Updated it to remove the HTML instead of just giving an error. It removes the < right before it, making it not work. There was also another error that I fixed.

NPC Code:

---

<<b>Avoided!<</b>

Also, "spam"? span, perhaps.
e: What is "hl"?

hl is horizontal line.

Looks like I made a typo. And an error.

I'll fix those after school today and repost! Thank you for the feedback!

Not sure what you're using it for but couldn't you just replace every instance of > with &gt;? That's what I usually do in places where HTML shouldn't be allowed.

Also, I'm pretty sure this script has some big holes in it. I wrote it many years ago.

hehe I noticed some errors, but I modified it

Good idea with the '>'- I'll do that =D Thanks
