For what it's worth, some of the various browsers *did* return 
JavaScript values to plugins after receiving a "javascript:" pseudo-URL. 
I haven't tested whether any of the current browsers work like this.

But like all that underdocumented stuff, it worked in some browsers, 
didn't work in others, and was subject to side-effects in many cases 
(didn't work with WMODE on, etc).

Some of the browsers *do* offer a documented, tested, and supported 
plugin/browser intercommunication scheme, and where such an ability is 
offered the Macromedia Flash Player has exploited it, under the general 
"FSCommand" interface. I see lots of people continue to promote 
"javascript:" pseudo-URLs and this worries me, just because of the great 
variability of browser support for this ability.
