Client-Side JavaScript or VBScript Scripts
Just to be very clear, this answer is very specific to client-side script and not server-side script. In other words, a client-side script is code that gets sent to the user's browser as part of the HTML content. Typically, the user's web browser will run this client-side JavaScript or VBScript code on their computer.
While AlertBot will accept client-side JavaScript and VBScript when it tests your website, it will regard it just like any other text on the page and not execute any of the code. This is a pretty standard practice among all monitoring services. Keep in mind that because of this, AlertBot will not detect JavaScript or VBScript issues that real website users may experience. AlertBot monitoring is meant to be used to detect web server problems like errors in code executing at the server-side.
