Anyone figured out how to use JS on their profiles? That would make for some great animations and functionality. I have tried adding <script> tags with no success. I figure this is something that probably wont be possible, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Can't use scripts, but you can create CSS animations which can be pretty powerful.

JS could be a security risk so they will probably hold off on adding that support for a while.

depending on what your looking for and if you had control over a hosting server or website couldent you just use clever instances of iframe? we use to back in the day on sites like this but honestly its been so long and i would hope this wouldent be the case anymore

Re: Squishy,
The URL for an iframe has to be for an approved site like YouTube. Any other URL is edited out. The 'srcdoc' attribute is also edited out.

yeah, after joining i tried poking around to see if i could run any js
at all from my page (even anchors with js urls) , and the answer was a No.
I dont think they would be adding this any time soon because it would
be a security nightmare.
note: i tried writing "java-script: urls" (without the dash) and it mis-flagged that in this very reply, which is fun. had to add the dash so it wouldnt flag it again.

I also wondered how to add JS to my profile to make the interface more dynamic and lively. It seemed like a little animation or interactive elements could give the page a completely different feel. I experimented with various options, tried inserting script tags, including small JS fragments, but, like you, nothing worked. It seems the system really does block such functionality. However, it was this search for solutions that prompted me to delve deeper into the capabilities of modern technologies. Ultimately, instead of manual scripts, I turned to more advanced tools — platforms that create smart interfaces and automate complex processes. I was particularly impressed by how ai ml development company allows you to implement functionality that standard scripts simply cannot. I became convinced that sometimes it's better to entrust a task to a professional team that understands how to combine usability, animation, and modern technologies in a stable and secure manner.
