Is it possible to use Javascript in the content of a page section variation? I want different variations to make different Javascript function calls, so I have variation content like:

Variation 1

<script type="text/javascript">my_func('abc');</script>

Variation 2

<script type="text/javascript">my_func('def');</script>

However, when I preview my page, I can't verify that my_func(content){ alert(content); } is actually being run. Does GWO not support JS content, or am I missing something?
