Description

Brett F. Whysel asks

Would it be possible to create a website with JavaScript? I would like to put together some micro-games for students like this one: Holding Period Return Mad Lib Demo - Decision Fish

Looks like a link was lost in the process of copying this over to Redmine.

In short, the answer here is "no". We don't allow arbitrary JavaScript to be uploaded or displayed on the Commons, for security reasons. In certain cases, we've allowed externally hosted JS applications to be embedded in a Commons site, but even that poses security problems, and probably would not be appropriate given that these are student projects. The best option is to find some other sort of hosting (like, say, GitHub Pages) and then link to the projects from a Commons site.
