sanitize javascript: from string

[4ch2]

Is there a way to use the sanitizer in order remove/escape "javascript:" from a string not inside tags?
Couldn't find anything in the documentation..

for example:
dirty = "javascript:alert(1);//"

This is not something that poses a problem as part of the text, as opposed to attributes or script tag body, in HTML. So it is not a supported use case. You might be able to manipulate it with the transformTags option, or not (I'm not sure how it'll react if there are no tags at all).
