HI I need to add some Javascript to a page (dashboard) on my Mahara installation, I have tried using the text Box but it cleans the Javascript out is there a work around for this ??

Thanks

Hello Dave,

Any potentially mallicious code, often hidden within JavaScript or iFrames is deleted upon saving a text box as HTML Purifier goes over it.

You can circumvent that behavior by writing a filter for the code that you deem safe. We have done so for YouTube, WikiEducator and others for example.

Cheers

Hello Dave,

For security reasons, there is not an easy way around it.

In Mahara 1.5 it will be possible to allow self-defined iFrames to be used but that would not extend to javascript.

Cheers
