Joeuser.com and scripts

Published on June 4, 2010 By CharlesCS In Blogging

I have a simple question. Does joeuser.com allow scripts? I ask because I am not 100% sure on this. I have tried to add scripts such as a Retweet or Facebook counter and other types of social bookmarking buttons to my articles that start with a something like this <script but these don’t work on JU. Yet I have been successful in applying scripts that start with <a href=" such as the button you may see on some of my recent article allowing readers to share my articles on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and StumbleUpon.

I’m trying to expand my blog by getting it out there to the masses, by making it more attractive, apart from trying to make it interesting to read, but there things I would love to add that can’t and was wondering if Joeuser.com is set this way or am I doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

<a href= is just standard html. It's always 'there', it's just hidden by the wysiwyg editor. If you hit the HTML button on a comment you'll see a lot more of it.

That I know, what I can't get to work is something like this code:

Code: javascript
  <script type="text/javascript">
tweetmeme_style = 'compact';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script> 
 

The code above is suppose to produce this button on my articles but it doesn't work. Now, this code

Code: javascript
<a href="http://twitter.com/CharlesCS"><img src="http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/9362/twitter05.png" width="64" height="64" border="0" title="Follow Me On Twitter" /></a>

works just fine. It produces this buttonwhich you can click and it works.

Most scripts are not allowed due to security reasons.
