No, they don't disable Javascript, since they often add 
their own Javascripts to a page to accomplish other 
things their user may have set it to do.

The one I use literally rewrites the incoming HTML on 
the fly. For instance, I have it set to turn all iframes and 
ilayers into links. It does this by looking for IFRAME or 
ILAYER tags and turning them into ordinary anchor 
tags. It also has a feature called Frame Exploder that 
turns a framed site into a set of separate browser 
windows while maintaining full functionality of the 
framed site. (I guess some people really *hate* frames!)

Suggestion: do a test page as you described above, 
send the link to the list, and let us see if it gets past 
our assortment of popup killers.
