The original error message told exactly what the problem is with jQuery
(albeit as part of a poorly worded laundry list):
Your listing cannot contain javascript(".cookie", "cookie(", "replace(",
IFRAME, META, or includes), cookies or base href"
If you search the jQuery source for those strings, you'll soon find (if you
didn't already guess) that it uses a multitude of string.replace() calls.
So you're right, the best bet would be to find a way to do what you want
without jQuery.

Hi,
I tried with several combinations of javascript and it seems like (including
src, replace method, cookie etc) are not allowed in item description. One
thing I can definitely try to do for you is that - if you can give me the
item description and tell me what is the effect you want to introduce in
there, I can try to do that without using jquery.
Thanks,
Raj

I threw together the most basic sample here:

Basically the file is just jQuery and a very basic script but eBay
isn't allowing it (I'm not loading it through src). Any thoughts?
Thanks!
