Do byon support java script?
The webclient's JS support is huge, though. You can actually create whole new UI controls besides the standard ones that Dream Seeker supports, or add custom extensions to the standard controls.

That's right. I'm actually going to develop my project in the webclient. It'll be able to reach a much wider audience and I can develop all the nice UI goodies I want. As it's regular Javascript in the browser I can even develop UI elements to show news from another website (outside of the game), etc. using Ajax calls.

BYOND itself does not support using Javascript on the server-side, with the exception of project Terminus where I've been working on an extension to BYOND that allows you to do just that. It's still under wraps though.
So in summary: yes, if you're referring to client-side Javascript used in the browser. But it's not supported as an alternative to server code (yet).
