  Hi guys, I am trying to add a EYB widget to my blog which shows the number of books I have and when clicked, shows the actual books in a list. I’ve followed the instructions on creating a text widget but the code (HTML) doesn’t produce a widget. Can anyone help please? Here is the code I was instructed to paste into the widget on EYB’s site:

  <div id=”eyb-book-widget”></div>
  <script type=”text/javascript”>
  (function(d,u){
  var j=d.createElement(“script”),s=d.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0];
  j.src=u+”bookshelf/bookwidget/33321?jsoncallback=eyb_c”;j.async=1;s.parentNode.insertBefore(j,s);
  })(document,”http://www.eatyourbooks.com/”);
  function eyb_c(d){document.getElementById(“eyb-book-widget”).innerHTML=d;}
  </script>

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  JavaScript isn’t supported here. There may however be a workaround for this, but one of the other volunteers will have to provide that, as it’s not my area of expertise.

  Thanks bobdavcab – I hope someone can help. I feared it was Java letting me down…

  Hi there,
  There is no help to be had. We bloggers cannot post any JavaScript, without having the software strip the code out for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Hi, this is Jane from Eat Your Books. I have emailed jobakes with a widget without JavaScript that she can add to her blog.
