Forum OpenACS Q&A: AdServer : javascript, img, target tags

Hello,
<p>
I want to use the AdServer package.
<p>
But all my ad tags are like this :

<pre>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://adv.surinter.net/richmedia.cfm?id=5176"></script>
<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://adv.surinter.net/richmedia.cfm?affilid=5176&tag=2"></script>
</pre>
<p> or
<pre>
<!-- VC active -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
// ValueParameters
ValueHost = "hs0209597";
ValueID = "akoor_random_number";
ValueLoaded = false;
ValueVersion = "1.0";
ValueWidth = 468;
ValueHeight = 60;
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="http://oz.valueclick.com/jsmaster"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if (ValueLoaded) ValueShowAd();
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<A HREF="http://kansas.valueclick.com/redirect?host=hs0209597&size=468x60&b=indexpage&v=0" TARGET="_top"><IMG BORDER="0" WIDTH="468" HEIGHT="60" ALT="Click here to visit our sponsor"
SRC="http://kansas.valueclick.com/cycle?host=hs0209597&size=468x60&b=indexpage&noscript=1"></A>
</NOSCRIPT>
</pre>

When trying to insert those tags, I'm told that "For security reasons, we only accept..." and that "script" and "img" tags are not accepted.
<p>
So I can't use the adserver ? Or is there a way ?
<p>
Thanx

Jerry, in order to properly quote HTML tags, or anything else, for display as HTML on the BBoard, try using this simple little dtk_openacs_bboard_quotehtml proc. (I think with the new OpenACS 4.5 forums package you no longer need the regsub to double the backslashes, however.)

Yes,

in add-adv-2.tcl

the property target_url should be of type "allhtml" instead of just "html".

I opened a bug in the ticket tracker (#137).
