Hello, all!

I'm looking at Gifts.com with Noscript enabled and I noticed that when I select from a drop-down menu, the page immediately refreshes to reflect the selected item. I thought this could only be done with javascript, so I took a look at the source code to see how they did it and I found they do it like this:

Code: Select all

<select class="jSelect" name="mode" id="mode" onChange="javascript:changeLocation(this)">

So it shouldn't actually be working. Gifts.com and all the third party scripts are disabled according to the menu that pops up when I click on the Noscript logo, so why is this javascript still working? I've been using Noscript for years and nothing like this has ever happened, so I'm very confused.

When "Noscript Options -> Advanced -> Untrusted -> Attempt to fix JavaScript links" is checked, NS will try to simulate JavaScript triggering of navigations, but no JavaScript from the page is running.

Really? How clever. I had a look and it was indeed checked. Thank you for the learning experience.
