[design issue] "Javascript" censored in plain text

Wed 9 Oct '02, 1:37pm

I typed "Javascript" in a post at my unhacked 2.2.8 board, but it shows up as java script in the post. When I edit the post, the textarea still shows Javascript.

Shouldn't this instead just be censored in [url] tags?

And don't ask why it's not doing it here...

Only javascript: (with the colon) becomes javascript:, in order to prevent JavaScript injection.

Ah, I see

Could it perhaps be better to just change one of the characters to an HTML entity (ex, change ":" to &#ascii code)?
