When I had a problem with listings a few months ago, the reason I was given was that I had the Pay Pal javascript inserted into my AW template and that javascript was no longer allowed with AW templates.
Now that I really NEED to have javascript (so I can utilize an interactive shipping quote script), I want to know why AW no longer supports javascript or if it was a temporary thing? Is it a technical issue or just a policy?
While there is much I like about AW, if I have to manually add things at the bottom of all my listings in order to make them work for me, it loses a great deal of its value.
Please set me straight if I am wrong about javascript.
We certainly allow the use of Java, it was eBay that started to crack down on it's use. The general rule is that if it is allowed there, it is allowed here as well.
If you know of a script that is accepted by eBay, give it a shot and try to do an eBay preview with it. If you feel you run into anything that is allowed there, but not working from here - let us know.

Thanks for setting me straight. I had no idea eBay had started disallowing javascript.
I did try to use the script for the calculator by adding it at the end of my current listing, but it came up blank so I guess eBay won't allow it.
What confuses me is that I can use the interactive Pay Pal logo when Pay Pal inserts it, but when I try to put it directly into my auction listing text in AW, it screws up the listing. Any ideas why that is?
(Like you don't have anything better to do on a holiday than answer my questions LOL)
