 * There is RunPHP and [http://www.navidazimi.com/projects/wp-exec](http://www.navidazimi.com/projects/wp-exec)
   will allow you to run PHP. You don’t need anything to run javascripts on a post–
   except you have to actually order the javascript like this:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/top.js">
    <!-- top() //---></script
   >
 * So save the script in a script file and call it, don’t put the script code in
   the post.
 * And I would also reinforce this by running [TextControl plugin](http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/TextControl)
   so you can set the formating to not convert the >< into character codes on a 
   per post basis.

 * that code didn’t work on this one
 *  <script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript”>
    <!–
 *  var username = “moshu”;
    var hostname = “moshu.com”; var linktext = “contact
   us by email”; document.write(“<a href=” + “mail” + “to:” + username + “@” + hostname
   + “>” + linktext + “”)

 * ongakukaku – yeah, I couldn’t get that to work either, butI did find that if 
   I use the syntax lorelle posted, it does work….
    Except that I did it like this:`
   <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/top.js"></script>

 * For information on running Javascript, see [Using Javascript](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript).
   In order to run PHP inside of posts, something not recommended, you can use RunPHP
   or PHPExec, both found here:

 * that format didn’t work for me, kind of makes sense though that some javascript
   wouldn’t work in pages, since the page is not a real page, just content spit 
   out from the database

 * i finally got this one to show up on the page
 * <script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript”>
    <!–
 * var username = “moshu”;
    var hostname = “moshu.com”; var linktext = “contact 
   us by email”; document.write(“<a href=” + “mail” + “to:” + username + “@” + hostname
   + “>” + linktext + “”)
 * //–>
 * </script>
 * the only problem now is, it shows up at the very top of the page moving the wp
   layout down below it.
 * I tried using a div tag but the javascript doesn’t seem to be formatable via 
   the css
 * anyone have any ideas how to drop the email down into the page where it belongs?
