html in forum post

    I want to create a forum where users can enter their affiliate codes (html & javascript too) in the posts itself. Is there any forum script which can do this?

    Also it should be safe to use, as I have read many posts which says allowing html is not recommended.


    For e.g. I need this to be visible in the post
    <a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.yatra.com/international/US/index-us-india.html';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/nc117wktqks7BDBCHCH798DBDDHG" target="_blank">

    You would be better served with a revenue sharing add-on, instead of allowing html in post. When you allow people to post html, you open yourself up for malicious code, javascript attacks, activeX exploits, drive by infects,,,, the list goes on and on.

    Most popular forums have revenue sharing scripts, just do a search for one that goes with the forum software your using.
