 * I used to pull in a stock quote from finance.yahoo.com and run a calculation 
   against the pulled data. The shortcode doesn’t seem to run inside the javascript
   anymore, since I updated your plugin from a previous version. I don’t think it
   likes the “brackets” in the shortcode, not sure. Below is an example:
 * <script type=”text/javascript”>// <![CDATA[
    a = [wpws url=”[http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GORO.OB&#8221](http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GORO.OB&#8221);
   selector=”table:eq(0) td:eq(0)”] b = 1.00 c = Math.round(((a-b)/b)*100) document.
   write(c) // ]]></script>

 * You may use debug=”0″ to turn off the debug information and hence make the scrap
   JS compatible
