Net Benefits

Let's not mince our words here... WordPress, and most other blogging platforms just don't like JavaScript. And, the truth is, if you can find a way of not using it then do so.

However, there are times when you have no option.

So what do you do?

There are a couple of options. The first is drop a text box widget into the sidebar and paste the code into there. This works fine, but isn't any good if you want to use JavaScript in the body of a post for a Captcha or Auto responder script etc.

I tried lots of plugins, which claim to allow the insertion of JaveScript into a post with varying degrees of success. The one I eventuly settled on is created by Volcano called Inline JavaScript

Once you have installed it here's how to use it: (NOTE - You need to remove the spaces in the brackets - I had to insert them to stop the plugin running!)

[ inline]

< the JavaScript you want to insert >

[ /inline]

If you would like to add any text after your JavaScript enter a line break code < br > followed by your text. eg.

[  inline]

< the JavaScript you want to insert >

[ /inline]

< br >

Your text.

It's simple and it works well. Here's what it looks like in action (and will subscribe you onto my updates list - which I thouroughly recommend   )
