In order to prove that JavaScript is evil, I had the following code on my node (which raised some complaints, so I took it down)

<!-- 
// This is the B10m "JavaScript is evil" trap ...
// Yes, these are pieces snatched from multiple sources and
// glued together by me ;)
//
// A cookie will be set, to ensure that we don't fill up te
// Chatterbox with just these silly messages. And to ensure 
// people won't fear to enter my home node again ...
//
// Thanx to JSchmitz for the idea of posting to the CB ;)
// -->

<form name="b10m_trap" method="post" action="/index.pl" enctype="appli
+cation/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<input type="hidden" name="node_id" value="295259" />
<input type="hidden" name="op" value="message" />
<input type="hidden" name="message" value="/me declares: 'JavaScript i

</form>

<script language="JavaScript">
var b10m = document.cookie;

function getCookie(name) { 
   var index = b10m.indexOf(name + "=");
   if (index == -1) return null;
   index = b10m.indexOf("=", index) + 1;
   var endstr = b10m.indexOf(";", index);
   if (endstr == -1) endstr = b10m.length;
   return unescape(b10m.substring(index, endstr)) 
}

if (!getCookie("trapped")) {
   var today = new Date();
   var expire = new Date();
   expire.setTime(today.getTime() + 3600000*24*365);
   document.cookie = "trapped=you_becha" + ";expires="+expire.toGMTStr
+ing();

   document.b10m_trap.submit();
}

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
