How to make xss safe strings

#1 August 21st, 2008, 03:15 AM

Hi,

How can I make a string XSS safe? Will
simply .replace('<','<').replace('>','>').... do the work? Or
are there some other issues to take into account?. Is there already a
function in python which will do this for me.

Regards

For HTML, use the cgi.escape function.
