Point taken, sir, but I wouldn't agree that client JS should be killed
off just because of IE's security problems. It's useful for more than
rollovers: client-side form validation, for instance, saves a lot of
hits (and hence a lot of waiting). Are you throwing out the baby with
the bathwater, or is a really secure JS sandbox just a pipe dream?
