Sad, sad day.

Well, silver lining time: Lets add a new toy to replace the old JS one! Here is what I am thinking: PM-code already scans through a node looking for [ and ] and <code> tags and such. Why not start a library of user defined PM tags. These tags would call a predefined function that does something. (This is like a specialized Server side include, which is not the same as the client side JavaScript) This library would be under the direct control of either Vroom or a few high level monks. (Either another clan or just the saints or something.) Anyway, the idea being that when you come up with something cute you would like to have on your node you submit it to the maintainer of the library who then tells you the tag to use. (or not if the idea is rejected.) Other users can then incorporate these new ideas as they choose by using the same tags. And of course, a few data points will be made available to this library (visitor's name, level, and maybe XP for example)

So, an example:

sub SetRandomBGColor { my @colorset = qw( aqua white yellow lime ); my $color = $colorset[rand(@colorset)]; print "<style><!-- body { background-color:$color;} --></style>"; } # This could then be used to do something like: # # <PM SetRandomBGColor> #
