  From that page I got over 1500 hits, 99% had nothing to do with the discussion - From the Vulnerabilities lists I got 125 hits, all the ones that I read were hackers getting sensitive data from your cookies, not downloading viruses. Still bad, but considering that HTML got 6146 hits in the search area you used, and 435 hits in the Vulnerabilities search I guess that we shouldn't use HTML either? I stand by my comment, I think javascript is as safe as anything you can run on a web page.
