As a security feature Joomla does not allow front end editors to include java script in content. In most cases this is desirable as one would not want malicious code being introduced into the site. A work-around and faster approach to this problem can be solved by using the Jumi mambot. Jumi will safely call in the java script code for front end editors. Jumi is essentially a rapid development tool for Joomla that allows the insertion of just about any type of code into any content or module.

Below is an example of the Jumi bot in action using the jquery.faq plug-in developed by projectatomic who also wrote the jquery.flickr plug-in demonstrated earlier.
