Question

So I have this function to strip out scripts from the page, but some scripts that are many lines long are still showing up. Is there a way to remove all scripts from the page that loads.

 function filterData(data){

// filter all the nasties out
// no body tags
data = data.replace(/<?\/body[^>]*>/g,'');
// no linebreaks
data = data.replace(/[\r|\n]+/g,'');
// no comments
data = data.replace(/<--[\S\s]*?-->/g,'');
// no noscript blocks
data = data.replace(/<noscript[^>]*>[\S\s]*?<\/noscript>/g,'');
// no script blocks
data = data.replace(/<script[^>]*>[\S\s]*?<\/script>/g,'');
// no self closing scripts
data = data.replace(/<script.*\/>/,'');

// [... add as needed ...]
return data;
  }

Here is an example of the script that comes through in the html

<script type="text/javascript">
var ccKeywords="keyword=";
if (typeof(ccauds) != 'undefined')
{
 for (var cci = 0; cci < ccauds.Profile.Audiences.Audience.length; cci++)
{
  if (cci > 0) ccKeywords += "&keyword="; ccKeywords +=     ccauds.Profile.Audiences.Audience[cci].abbr;
}
}
</script>
