 * Hi, (I write in English even I’m italian, so everybody can understand)
    I’m trying
   your plugin and I needed to do Javascript code when you click on a region. So
   if I write “javascript:alert(‘test’);” and I save changes, I can’t read again
   the code… so give a look to the plugin code and I changed a row in “rvm_regions.
   php”:
 *     ```
       //$output .= '<td><p><input ' . RVM_REGION_LINK_CLASS . ' type="text" name="' . $region[ 1 ]  . '[]" value="' . esc_url_raw( $regionsparams_array[ 'field_region_link' ] ) . '" ></p></td>' ;
       	$output .= '<td>'.$regionsparams_array[ 'field_region_link' ].'<p><input ' . RVM_REGION_LINK_CLASS . ' type="text" name="' . $region[ 1 ]  . '[]" value="' . stripslashes($regionsparams_array[ 'field_region_link' ]) . '" ></p></td>' ;
       ```
   
 * Now, after I save my links, I see them again… [http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)
   or javascript:alert(‘test’); are both correct now…
 * I don’t know if this is the best way… but it actually works on my test… anyway,
   maybe you can add some functions to your plugin, so people can write a normal
   website URL or javascript code… maybe in href and onClick too…
 * Hope this can help everybody…

 * Hi SS5NemboKid,
 * thanks for sharing this !
 * I disallowed javascript on links on purpose, to evoid any kind of XSS ( Cross
   Site Scripting ) and make the plugin as safer as possible ( instead of esc_url_raw
   it should be used esc_url – it will updated in next release ).
 * What I could do is creating an extra option in settings asking people if they
   want to allow javascript in their url: I think this is the better way to do it
   🙂
 * have a nice day and thanks again for your feedback
