 * actually its wp 2.9.2; thesis theme 1.5
 * i was just wondering how bad a security risk it is to deploy javascript in a 
   post
 * i was working on wordpress install using thesis theme which seems to allow that
   to happen.

 * The above “using java” tutorial says one can enter the following text into a 
   post to call a bit of java script;
 * <script type=”text/javascript”>
    <!– updatepage(); //–></script>
 * I’m trying to do this, but a “<p>” tag is always auto-inserted in front rendering
   it useless. I’m using the html tab on the editor, can anyone tell me how to prevent
   the post editor in wordpress from auto-inserting a paragraph tag before my script?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
