Links and javascript.

[Octavian Rasnita]

If you are talking about what Javascript code can do because it can open a
lot of unwanted windows with a lot of unwanted information and other nasty
tricks, you are right, but Java script code can't write to the computer
client machine, so it is not a security problem.

A bigger problem is Microsoft Data binding that can create more security
holes.
