This is a simple Javascript routine some people put onto their webpage to
try to prevent surfers from copying text and images, it detects the
surfer's right mouse click and throws up a message of admonishment. It
works within the browser so is very easy to side-step, just turn Javascript
off in your browser and the message disappears.
Interestingly, I tried to duplicate what Walt experienced and had no
trouble copying the item number (or any image) from their eB*y page. And I
even have Javascript enabled in my broswer, so go figure.
