This includes\n\ninline tags inline event handler attributes javascript: URLs.\n\nSimilarly, if a CSP contains default-src or a style-src directive, then inline CSS will not be loaded, including\n\ninline tags {{domxref(\"HTMLElement.style\", \"style\")}} attributes.\n\nThe unsafe-inline keyword can be used to undo this protection, allowing all these forms to be loaded.\n\n> [!WARNING] > Developers should avoid 'unsafe-inline', because it defeats much of the purpose of having a CSP.\n\nSee Inline JavaScript in the CSP guide for more usage information.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
