bSearchSrcAttr True to search the SRC attribute of a script tag
false to search the TEXT content of a script tag.
identifyingRegex A valid regular expression that should be unique
to that particular script tag.
callbackFunction An optional function to execute when the script is
found. Use null if not needed.
Usage example:
checkForBadJavascripts ( [

[true, /evilExternalJS/i, null ]
