This is true, and I often forget there is not any javascript available to 
play with. While the point I am trying to make is that there are other 
methods available to the page editor, that both work, usually faster and 
aren't the hackers favorite back door into your machine. And of course 
it doesn't hurt that my router runs dd-wrt. Nothing comes in that I or 
the machine didn't ask for except incoming to my own web page in the 
sig. With apache2 running nothing it doesn't need, in a sandbox that 
hasn't been breached in 5 years, I feel relatively safe.
