Returns
Type Description

The context.

AttributeToken name

The attribute name.

System.String value

The attribute value.

Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

true if the attribute is safe; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The attribute value will be delivered with quotes removed, i e you do not need to do special quote handling of the attribute value. Note that it is still possible for the value to contain embedded quotes but they are part of the actual value.

IsSafeTextFragment(FilterContext, String)

Determines whether the text fragment should be regarded as safe in the current context.

Declaration
bool IsSafeTextFragment(FilterContext context, string content)
Parameters
Type Name Description
FilterContext context

The context.

System.String content

The content.

Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

true if the content is safe; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The HTML filter will call this method when the fragment is a Special Text Fragment, i e the content of a style or script element. If the text fragment is determined to be unsafe (this method returns false) then the surrounding start and end elements will unconditionally be removed, ignoring the return value from KeepNakedElement.

KeepNakedElement(FilterContext)

Determine whether to keep an element even if it contains no attributes.

Declaration
bool KeepNakedElement(FilterContext context)
Parameters
Type Name Description
FilterContext context

The context.

Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

true if the element should be kept even when it contains no attributes; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The default behavior should be to return true and special-case the false handling.

Typical scenario is an img element where the src attribute has been removed due to suspected XSS attack. An img without an image to show should be removed completely from the resulting HTML.
