It’s generally a very bad idea to paste in HTML code. You can do it, and doing so will not result in the error you’re getting…. but WordPress expects you to type in text and a limited subset of HTML (formatting and such). If you’re using a lot of Javascript inside of posts, then you likely need to re-evaluate your site design and development strategy.
Hi,
No I’m not (deliberately) using any Java, it’s mostly tables, which I stripped out anyway and URLs to files.
The main reason I asked was I have 1000s of files in my old HTML-based site that I’d like to have accessed from my new, WordPress site, so rather than pasting in the text and going through every link and adding in the URL, I thought there might be a quicker way, like cleaning out most of the HTML leaving just the links and the text.

Oh, yes, that’s fine. You can paste the HTML straight into the code tab. The links are standard A href’s and such, no issues there.
Then how come I’m getting errors like ‘script not responding’?

Like I said earlier, that’s an entirely different kind of error. Usually it means that you’re being hosted on a shared server which is too overloaded to actually do anything useful.
My advice: Find another hosting service.
