I've been browsing the support section researching the custom html header/footer subject. Sounds like there are a lot of items that need to line up for that to happen.
In the interim, is it possible to allow just for calls to javascript files? I'd like to use lightbox on a few images in my FAQs. I know javascript will work in the FAQ wysiwyg, but I need to call out to the lightbox.js file. Are there issues with allowing Tender users to add javascript to the existing header? Or can you create a box for users to paste the code, similar to the custom CSS function?

There are a few concerns we have with custom javascript (and custom
anything, really)
First, it makes changing the front-end code almost impossible on our
part without breaking things; and it increases the support load when
sites inevitably break something and we need to debug and fix it.
There are also cookie-hijacking concerns. So, we're treading
carefully. If it's only a lightbox you want, then maybe we could just
provide a lightbox tag?

Makes sense, and thanks for the quick reply.
A lightbox tag would be a great solution. Would that work in the image/file uploader?

Probably. We're currently redoing all the javascript, so I'll bring it
up with the team.

Thanks for looking into it!
