The text between <H2> and </H2> is obviously a clickable space: like a
link, just without the special "it points somewhere" properties. Of course,
if you wanna change the document.location property when you click on
it..

Event handlers and Javascript aren't HTML, they're DHTML.

If Javascript is disabled, any self-respecting browser just ignores everything
between <script> and </script>. Any browser which doesn't HAVE Javascript
knowledge quite obviously won't, but in context, on your supposition, it
doesn't matter really. 9 bytes is a lot of space :P

He's loading the page from RAM, and the Javascript handlers etc. are
throwing a fit and trying to access something from that disk again -
via a web-escaped form of the volume name.
Until I can reproduce it (I can't, my RAM disks are called RAM: and RAM:,
spaces are the devil's work :) it's a non-problem.
Thanks
