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.

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.

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

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.

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

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...
