Bad Word Filter

wilcosky · 03-22-2008, 07:20 AM

Is there such a thing as a bad word filtering script that can be placed in the <HEAD> tags of my website that will filter out certain words that I choose no matter where they are in the page?

I know there are scripts I can add to my forms to do this so when the visitor submits text the script checks for bad words, but, I have multiple forms on my site, it would be a lot easier if there was a script that would do the filtering no matter which form the bad word was posted from.

I know it's different, but for example... we can put <b> at the beginning of a paragraph and all the text will change to bold. Why isn't there a script that would allow us to put <? include("filter.php); ?> or something similar that would filter any bad words anywhere on the page!?!? Instead all I'm finding are scripts that you add to forms.

you can have something like:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function bFilter(a,b) {
body.innerHTML = body.innerHTML.replace(a,b);
}
</script>
<body onload="bFilter("****","f**k");bFilter("shit","s**t");">

didn't test it or anything, but i'm sure something like that would work

Edit:
in the onload="" code, v7n filtered out my first bad word (the f one) lol,

but you get the point..

js filters can be passed, used server-side filters

in that code you can use an array to keep all bad words
