Is there a way to have the Content Advisor skip or omit links pointing to the
javascript: protocol? I have a website setup that makes use of this protocol
to run Javascript ( for example, <a href="javascript:
openFile('44343');">Open File</a> ) ... I have set the site as ALLOWED in the
content advisor, but the popup window still shows when they click these
javascript: links. Anything I can do to fix this problem?

Same problem here. I am very frustrated trying to come up with an answer as
seemingly no one is providing one.

What good is a content filter that can't tell a Java object from a website?
Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Content Advisor blocks all scripting.

Ok, so it seems content advisor is not the right solution for this scenario.
Does anybody know of any alternative solution to allow complete and
unrestricted access (including javascript) to 1 (or several) sites, while
blocking all other sites that are not specifically "White-listed"?
