What is meta? ×


the title of the question should be "why is <br> a tag..." but the literal html tag is being put in there. This is at least a bug, at worst arbitrary HTML being inserted into everyone's browser.

I've noticed this occurring in several StackApps as well... While most of SE is good about treating titles as plain text and encoding as-needed, it appears likely to become a stumbling block for new clients. –  Shogging through the snow Aug 15 '10 at 21:18
Just noticed this myself and came to note it :) –  Mark Henderson Aug 15 '10 at 21:27
I hope someone doesn't ask : "Why is <script>alert('XSS')</script> so often used to test XSS ?" –  HoLyVieR Aug 15 '10 at 23:36
@HoLyVieR they would have to both ask it and have it become popular –  cobbal Aug 15 '10 at 23:47
@HoLyVieR I actually considered that, but didn't think it would make it to "Hot questions". –  grawity Aug 16 '10 at 10:15
