U know how u can re-enable HTML in AIM’s newer versions? Well, can anyone figure out how to enable JavaScript? This would lead to al ot og great things on my point…… a cool little pop-up profile that shows pictures and stuff at any size you want……hehe…..?
Is there any way? Please post here or email me at:
HiddenShinobou@netscape.net
or, IM me at HiddenShinobou on AIM. Thank You.The profile in AIM is a stripped down browser.
It’s not a matter of enabiling it, rather, hacking the source to add the ability to show images/execute javascript, recompiling it, then distributing it to everyone you know (and then some).
So, no. It can’t be done.
You can, however, link to a page with your javascript/pictures/embedded stuff, and have it open in a full fledged browser.
Thanks newrise, so if u recompile it, it could work? If i did that and it worked could i release a “beta” version of it off my site, or would AOL like sue me? or i could put a link in my profile for the download…..?
I was half joking. You *could* recompile it. It would be reverse-engineering, and AOL probably would not go for it.
It’s an impossibility. Even if AOL didn’t care what you did with the software (which they will; you’d theoretically let people run code on their machines) you’d have to know a lot of C(++) or assembler, as well as be familiar with HTML specs. AOL (or some other coding group) has the resources to program something like this and they didn’t for a reason. The potential for client-based trouble (malicious JS code) and network-based trouble (cross-site scripting) is too great.
