Note Submitter: kangaroo232002 at yahoo dot co dot uk ---- After wondering why the following was indexed in my trawler despite stripping all text in tags (and punctuation) "» valign left align middle border 0 src go gif name search1 onclick search", please take a quick look at what produced it: <DIV style="position: absolute; TOP:22%; LEFT:68%;"><input type="image" alt="Go >" valign="left" align="middle" border=0 src="go.gif" name="search1" onClick="search()"></div>... looking at this closely, it is possible to see that despite the 'Go >' statement being enclosed in speech marks (with the right facing chevron), strip_tags() still assumes that it is the end of the input statement, and treats everything after as text. Not sure if this has been fixed in later versions; im using v4.3.3... good hunting.
