Thanks for the prompt feedback guys. I played around with the HTML
widget, but I wasn't able to get it to actually execute the script. I
didn't want to just include it in my index.html file... I plan to have
multiple "digg this" links on the site, and each one will need to jump
to the appropriate place using history tokens.
I managed to get it working without running any javascript though. The
digg script just creates an iframe with some URL-encoded arguments, so
I simply created my own iframe and encoded the URL myself. The only
downside is that I'll have to watch out if digg ever changes their
API.
If anyone does find a way to use the HTML widget to actually create
and _execute_ javascript code I'd love to hear about it though.
