I'm assuming you mean that editors can add the HTML after story submission, and not just anybody. It's possible that editors can bypass the normal filters when editing a story that already exists. If so, that sounds like a bug, because fields should be filtered appropriately every time they're changed, even if an editor is making the change. I don't think there would be any security issues with allowing html in the title, at least none beyond allowing html anywhere. Titles tend to be short and formatted in a specific way on the page, however, and are also used in the browser's title bar (which doesn't allow html formatting). -janra On 17-Aug-06, at 7:58 AM, Chris Schults wrote: > When a contributor first submits a post, any HTML in the story > title is removed.
