Odd characters between leters like this

I've got some odd things happening.

When reading a mail in uddle .9, the word "players" appears as "pla<x>yers"

What is this?

Confirmed.

I wonder why this happens, maybe a problem in one of the regular expressions used in the smiley code.

One minute later

Its the security code agains cross site scripting (XSS) I use in uddeIM. It finds the word "layer" and adds an "<x>" to make it save.

Will check if I can make it a little bit less aggresive.

You can remove the additional anti XSS code if you like:
Search for "uddeimRemoveXSS" in includes.php and replace this function with following dummy:

function uddeimRemoveXSS($val) {
return $val;
}

The code is not really necessary since actually I strip all tags but the idea with this code was to allow certain tags and only to drop the dangerous ones.

There are several words which do this and they all have the "ay" in them. I'll try it out and report back.
