    <p>I'm using a literal to display some javascript on a product page control. Basically what I'm doing is in my code behind I'm declaring a new stringbuilder, writing the script while inserting some dynamic variables to populate the script then setting the literal text to the stringbuilder. This leaves me open to xss attacks. What can I do to prevent this?</p> <p>EDIT. Here is an example of the stringbuilder. when the page gets loaded the xss vulnerability occurs right after the javascript is generated.</p> <pre><code>System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder(); //loop through items in the collection for (int i = 0; i &lt; _prod.ActiveProductItemCollection.Count; i++) { sb.Append("&lt;script type='text/javascript'&gt;"); //add +1 to each item sb.AppendFormat("mboxCreate(\"product_productpage_rec{0}\",", i+1); sb.Append("\"entity.id=" + _prodID + "\","); sb.Append("\"entity.categoryId=" + _categoryID + "\","); sb.Append("\"entity.name=" + _prod.ActiveProductItemCollection[i].Title + "\","); sb.Append("\"entity.pageURL=" + Request.Url.ToString() + "\","); //The following value has been taken from the productImageControl code behind. //Might have to refactor in future as a property of the image control. string filename = AppSettingsManager.Current.ProductImagePathLarge + _prod.ActiveProductItemCollection[i].Sku + AppSettingsManager.Current.ProductImageExtension; sb.Append("\"entity.thumbnailURL=" + filename + "\","); sb.Append("\"entity.inventory=" + _prod.ActiveProductItemCollection.Count + "\","); sb.Append("\"entity.value=" + _prod.ActiveProductItemCollection[i].ActualPrice + "\","); sb.Append("\"entity.ProductItemID=" + _prod.ActiveProductItemCollection[i].Sku + "\","); sb.Append("\"entity.addToCartImg=~/Images/Buttons/btn_AddToCartFlat.gif\");&lt;"); //The last line has to be /script. &lt; inserted on prev line. do not change it or bad things will happen. sb.Append("/script&gt;"); } this.LiteralMBoxScript.Text = sb.ToString(); </code></pre>

    2. COYour last comment is wrong. There is nothing wrong with appending `</script>` whole in C#. (That issue only applies in an inline `<script>` tag in HTML)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
