I want my application to sanitize html on input rather than on display, so that the fields saved into the database are sanitized.
I’ve been doing this with strip_tags, and it was working great. However, this has the downside that it means the user can’t input anything that’s bracketed with < and >.
How can I tell Rails in the model to securely escape tags before saving them to the database? I’d like to not have to call h on the sanitized fields again before using them in the views.
You could call the
hmethod in abefore_savefilter.
