That's a bit unfair. I was talking about the risk of compromising the site and operating system protection etc. I thought we were having a discussion about risk vs. benefit, and I was trying to make a point that compromised javascript code does not have the same risk factor as compromised php code. Particularly if you're talking about the ability to propagate from host to host, etc. Some in this thread seemed to be implying that this was the same level of risk. Javascript operates in a security sandbox. PHP doesn't. On Sep 14, 2007, at 9:02 AM, Earl Miles wrote:

But I also agree with the concept that jQuery plugins aren't the same as PHP code., cause they don't execute server side.
Right, because endangering your users is better than endangering your own site.
