 * Is it possible to add java script widgets to a page or on the left in the Menu?
   Also can you add a date and time stamp in Java Script to a page also?
    Thank 
   you.

 * You need to explain a little more about what you’re trying to do. A standard 
   Text Widget can be used to place a JavaScript element in the sidebar, but it 
   sounds like you’re talking about playing with the header.

 * Only if the page or menu template is widget-capable.
 * > Also can you add a date and time stamp in Java Script to a page also?
 * Should be possible using a custom page template.

 * I have a Time and date stamp in Javascript I want to add to each page at the 
   beginning. Also, how do you add a widget like and ad in javascript to the menu
   items on the left or right of a page?

 * 1. Edit page.php and either include a call to your external javascript or include
   the script itself.
 * 2. Use a Text widget as ptvguy suggested.

 * The Admin/Appearance/Widgets is for the sidebar. How do I use it to add javascript
   to a page or post? How does it work in a Menu item if I want to add a new Menu
   Box with the javascript in it?
    Thanks.

 * Depending on your theme and the specific placement you want, you’re probably 
   going to have to go into the PHP files themselves for this. (single.php, page.
   php, header.php, etc.) The [Snippets](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/snippets/)
   plugin might help you a little.

 * The ezine articles widget in javascript is pretty wide for me to be able to put
   in on the menu. That is why I wanted to place it on a page or post. In Joomla
   you turn off WYSIWYG to insert javascript on a page. Wish WP would have something
   similar too.
    Thanks.
