Ok, typical enough e-commerce blurb, right? Nothing out of the ordinary.

But then how do you explain this? The total lack of right clicking allowed. Stupid Yahoo! Now I just feel used.

Taking up sewing???? I guess it beats a lot of other hobbies.....

It's because of this JavaScript function which is in the page's code:

function mouseDown(e) {
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3) {
var clickType=1;
if (navigator.appName=="Netscape") clickType=e.which;
else clickType=event.button;
if (clickType!=1) {
alert("Absolute Sewing - 1-877-530-6592");
}
}
return true;
}
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3) {
document.onmousedown = mouseDown;
if (navigator.appName=="Netscape")
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}

If you use Mozilla, the alert window appears, but the context menu still pops up, also.

Or if you use Macintosh, the whole thing is totally bypassed! [Wink]

What, you want to save the picture? Just do a screen capture with Print Screen and paste it into Paintshop or something.

Now you can not only have a flag on the car, you can sow them into your cloths!! George Bush must be so proud.

Uh...what are you people talking about? Why in the world would I care about the image? I'm not exactly lusting after sewing machines here. I just found this part a bit odd:

It's the attention span of these kids nowadays.

I giggled, and was reminded of an industrial machine I once saw about a year ago called a 'Simons Resizer' for boxes or something. But, you've won once again.

Also, sorry, but I think I'd choose the AMAZING BOX instead. It's much more alluring.

If all proportions hold true, than, it would ahve to be an amazing box.....

Well, you still could take it up as a hobby....

Well, to handle something of Simon's, uh, "magnitude" you'd HAVE to have a pretty amazing box.

Hey, just because I ahve a problem typing certain words......
document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,4,2,0,8,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); :

I think he capitalized "have" out of actual emphasis, not because you mistyped it.

Simon: See, the problem is that someone would have to actually read the page to see what you were getting at. All you mentioned was the right-clicking, so I only looked into that. It certainly didn't look like anything worth reading...
