Script tags in TinyMCE fields are not saving correctly

Solution 1

Try the following:

extended_valid_elements: 'script[language|type|src]'

I see that you've already tried updating the extended_valid_elements property using

'script[language|type]' but you forgot to allow the src attribute for the script tags

so right now the src attribute is being stripped out.

Solution 2

There seems to be a bug where if a script tag is wrapped in a div TinyMce dumps the script. (even if you have extended_valid_elements correctly) TinyMCE can be very annoying to use

Solution 3

What I did to solve the problem was putting the script block inside a tag <code> tag.

<code>
     <script>alert("abc");</script>
</code>

I am running tinyMCE on my site and I'm trying to insert script tags. I am trying to insert my script tags into the body of the source of the tinyMCE instance.

However, when I do I get problems. When I submit the form including the tinyMCE element It strips the tags.

I have tried the following lines below with still no success.
- allow_script_urls: true
- valid_elements : '*[*]'
- extended_valid_elements: 'script[language|type]'
One thing I have noticed though that if I have to post the script code to the section of the source code of the tinymce instance and it works. However, I need to be able to add it to the <body> of the tinymce instance so I can see previews etc of it.

Below is the script tag I'm trying to upload.
```
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://resources.32red.com/ad.aspx?pid=237638&bid=3344"></script>
```
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks

I have just verified this today. Unfortunate. But glad to see someone else acknowledged it.

Grr. That's annoying. I think I'm hitting this too. I wonder if this was fixed in a particular version.

I'm having the same issue, and unfortunately, even when I added script[language|type|src] it still kept stripping out the src. On TinyMCE 3.5.11. Haven't found a fix yet, except for upgrading to v4, which is a bit of effort.

I kept removing TinyMCE plugins until I found the culprit - the jwplayer plugin I was using was stripping out the <script src="..."> for some reason.

extended_valid_elements : "script[src|async|defer|type|charset]"
