I'm referencing an external JS file with a src html tag, why am I getting a "Java script not allowed" error?
The chances are, you will have a tag that is similar to this.
<HTMLTag>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.domain.com/scripts/somescript.js"></script>
</HTMLTag>
The reference to the external file is not allowed as per our HTML and JavaScript policy.
src="http://www.domain.com/scripts/somescript.js" will throw the error
<ShortMessage>Java script not allowed.</ShortMessage>
<LongMessage>Your listing cannot contain javascript (".cookie", "cookie(", "replace(", IFRAME, META, or includes), cookies or base href.</LongMessage>
<ErrorCode>353</ErrorCode>
