No, because JavaScript isn't HTML.  Nor are GIFs, JPEGs, WAVs, or CSS
style sheets.

All these things can be *embedded in*, or *referenced from* HTML, but
that says nothing: I could embed my cat if she had a URL.

1) Somebody already put their fish on the web.

2) No, I am not (knowingly) related to the author of the _Ode on the
   Death of a Favourite Cat_.
