I just don't get the point???

your overthinking it!
read the hint and take it easy.

Yaa…don’t over think the problem. Most of the important hints are in the older threads.
Nevertheless , I’ll leave a major hint here :
undedetectedtected !!
Muxh needed hint for the level :)

Thanks. I have seen the undedetectedtected several times over and figured it was referring to <script>, but now i’m thinking one layer turns this into a command to execute - the bit i’m missing?

Over-thinking… Grrr tried this and got the alert. Dumbfounded.
‘;alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//’;alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//“;
alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//”;alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//–

“>‘>

think about what the filter does and use your knowledge from the undeundetectedtected hint.
idk what exactly your trying but you only need a simple single line here.

@Maxima: Intermerdiate Level 4 is not about XSS. Therefore, your attempts to create an alert box is useless.

You need to create the expected output in the gray box which will appear after submitting:
```
<?a

Hmm
Well if i use this code, I not only get : in the output box, but also get the alert?????

<script>alert(‘HackThis!!’);</script>

I thought my original entry of my first post did what was required?

The output box is supposed to just say :- is it not? - I think that was the point of this exercise, but why oh why does my code fail?????????

@Maxima: Did you inspect element as I suggested? Inspect the grey box and you will figure out [b]what is really printed out[b].

Inspect element - how? sorry, but totally new to this?
I am using Fierfox, I know right click to inspect element, but can I see the value of the entry? is that what I need?
Is there something you can tell me to do that will show me what is wrong in the value?
I self taught VB programming, so a class is an instance of an object, like an X5 is a class of BMW which may in turn could be a class of a CAR object, is it not? So where does an unwanted class fit into this?
I don’t see how class fits in with the output?

do you mean the first < ?

sigh Yeah, I mean your original entry.

How to use Inspect Element in Firefox:

Submit your entry again > Move your cursor to the grey box > Right click and choose Inspect Element (Q) (Firefox) > Read the HTML code inside

Cheers Freewind, I think I get it now :) lets see…

Its almost like a step by step answer lol! If you still didn’t get it then God be with you. :p

Take your time @Maxima !! Its better to know one thing completely and then doing it than doing many things altogether and understanding little about any !!

Well that was a blast!! Lol. 708 attempts and 2.5 days, but finally completed with a simple line :) closing the thread lol.
