ISS's IPS and Javascript interpreter

Subject: ISS's IPS and Javascript interpreter
Date: 14 Dec 2006 16:11:19 -0000
As you've probably noticed, recently most malicious websites that host 
client-side browser exploits are not obfuscating them using complex javascript. 
i.e. if its an HTML-based attack, the HTML is dynamically generated using 
complex script. If its a call into a buggy activex complex, the call 
invocation, params etc are all obfuscated. 

The only way to detect such exploits over the wire is with a Javascript 
interpreter.

Does anyone know if ISS's IPS can detect such exploits. Comments from experts 
on other vendor's IPS products are also welcome.
