 * Topic pretty much says it. I want to add a widget that shows Amazon widgets but
   I’ve run into this problem adding any javascript based code. The ad management
   systems are ok but I just want to add a widget. Doing it with a Text widget of
   course fails because it can’t parse the code.
 * So, what’s the trick?

 * Placing the javascript code directly in the sidebar or using a plugin such as
   Exec-PHP.
