I think this means my bravenet widget is not going to work in my wordpress blog because it’s in javascript. Oh Well.
Yup. No javascript – sorry.
Ok, now i get it. I spent hours trying to get a blog roll into my text widget. HAahahha
Thanks for all the information here…very useful
ok i have not used javascript to get executed there. Those were just javascript injections. i m not using javascript in any of my page.
@james ong – *chuckle* You kidder you. Thanks for the thanks.

I just wanted to be sure that you understood the limitations that’s all. Thanks for dropping by.
I often wondered and felt a bit petulant that I could not use javascript. It’s good to know the reason. It makes sense.
Whenever I think I’ve learned something “illuminating” or otherwise useful here at wordpress I try to find the time to write it up and post it in this blog. This blog is actually functioning like a combination of my personal blogging notes and the news reports that I find interesting. I’m glad you found useful information here in three different posts because that means keeping this blog is worth it. Thanks for letting me know you came and benefited from what you found.
