   I used to pull in a stock quote from finance.yahoo.com and run a calculation against the pulled data. The shortcode doesn't seem to run inside the javascript anymore, since I updated your plugin from a previous version. I don't think it likes the "brackets" in the shortcode, not sure. Below is an example:

   <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
   a = [wpws url="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GORO.OB" selector="table:eq(0) td:eq(0)"]
   b = 1.00
   c = Math.round(((a-b)/b)*100)
   document.write(c)
   // ]]></script>

   You may use debug="0" to turn off the debug information and hence make the scrap JS compatible
