the_excerpt should strip style tags

[sunburntkamel]

the_excerpt prints <style> tags, rather than omitting them, causing unattractive excerpts.

example:  http://archgfx.net/wordpress/?cat=1

the problem usually comes up in the context of posting from flickr.

it seems like wp_trim_excerpt might need something like this:  http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php#71962 but i'm really not qualified to make a patch.

patch wp_trim_excerpt to strip style and script tags completely

patch wp_trim_excerpt to strip style and script tags completely

ignore the first patch, my tabs weren't set correctly.

I think filtering out everything between style tags (and CDATA) is a good idea, but it should probably be done for the content_save_pre filter, as this can also be a problem when someone posts by email, for example.

I'm not sure that style/script tags should be removed from the posts entirely, as that might cause posts to not display properly.

Closing as duplicate of #6380. The patches are very similar too.
