                By putting your J.avascript into a seperate file like http://domain.com/jscript.js and then having the robots.txt disable jscript.js

                  I believe so.
                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
