//
// This is a Greasemonkey user script.
//
// To install, you need Greasemonkey: http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
// Then restart Firefox and revisit this script.
// Under Tools, there will be a new menu item to "Install User Script".
// Accept the default configuration and install.

//
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// WHAT IT DOES:
// Blockbuster as of June 2005, uses <label></label> tags with javascript onclick events to handle navigation.
// This script replaces some crummy psuedo-anchor tags with true-anchor tags to enable user to view movie details in new tabs/windows.
