[drupal-devel] Question on valid_input_data()

[K B]

Actually, after some more tracing, the style element was the not the
culprit. It was the on[a-z]+ regexp. I think this filters the
javascript on* events.

If I have banners that rely on using onclick to redirect to an ad
serving page/script, and these are being blocked by Drupal, what can
be done about them?
