smartedit - Sanitize of strings

[Former Member]

Hi Experts, there is a ootb sanitizing of Strings in smartedit for the types "ShortString" and "LongString". The sanitizing function looks like:

 return !isBlank(str) ? str.split('').reverse().join('').replace(/(?:(([()])(?!\\)))/g, '$1\\').split('').reverse().join('') : str;

The result is that round parenthesis "()" are escaped with a backslash. The api-comment is "escapes any harmful scripting from a string, leaves innocuous HTML untouched".

There are 2 questions:

• Which kind of scripting is meant? JS, JSP, ??

• Does this mean, that you can not add content which contains parenthisis at all within the types "ShortString" and "LongString"?

Cheers, Andreas
