James, Yes, it was mainly in connection with javascript, although I also wondered about Java, which I also use on my pages. The other scripts I added more to seek confirmation rather than anything else.
I do not have a Roots Webb account, or at least don't think I have - just realised that I have a vague memory of creating one to check something out a few years back, but I've never used it and have no idea of the Username and Password!

However, if this is a more generic question about support for scripts like cgi, asp, sql, php, etc. Then I agree with the others that these are restricted. In a very simplistic sense, all of these require server side support to process/execute them. JavaScript is executed on the client side in the user's browser, so something completely different (IMO anyway). I will at least determine if my JavaScript trick will work at Rootsweb when I get back.
