Matthew Flas... Scriptwright

(updated, as now only works with onload as below)

The TImes changed the script again. Now, it uses Prototype and only pops up a question mark. To get rid of it, you can use:

addEventListener("load",
function()
{
window.location.href = "javascript:void(document.stopObserving(\"mouseup\"));";
}, false);

Ditto: Thank you thank you thank you.

I've actually written to the times' webmaster about this... Some people, when they read on the web, like to click around the page a lot. (It's something like 30% I think.) I'm a clicker and it drives me nuts to constantly have to close that damn window.

They replied that they're aware that the doubleclick is annoying and that they're working on a new system that is less irritating to clickers.
