What was done before the problem appeared?
i simply tried to add the .script code into a post but it just came up like this <script></script>


What was done to try to solve the problem?
i have looked about but cant find what i need



De.scription and Message

i have found some wonderful .scripts that would suit my site brilliantly, only when i try to add the .script to a post it misses out all the code and just leaves this <script></script>.
what am i doing wrong?

here is a copy of the full .script so you can check it out

<script></script>

any help appreciated

I am naturally assuming that the software is blocking the calling of .scripts in posts. Do you really want for people to run .scripts on your website? I'm iffy with that.

No harm in running .scripts on your site and they can be a big help.

You can't allow anyone running .scripts from the post box though, you would be opening your site to attacks.

What if the .script requests the sites config file, would you be ok giving that out? (first thing that comes to mind from a very long list) <img>

I have to agree with cannon on this one. I would never allow .scripts to be used in posts.
