How did they do this?

Preventing screen scraping...

If you check out <snip> you can't scrape the text. I was trying to grab some boat show dates but it didn't work.

Of course all you have to do is save the file without the JS and you can copy all you want, so it doesn't really stop anybody, but I thought it was a pretty cool function to add to a website.

Can someone please identify what script or command they are using to do this?

Thanks!

Doesn't work in Opera (among other things) :)

Why don't you grab their Javascript and find out?

I don't see anything odd on that page at all. What are you talking about?

What is it that you think "screen scraping" is? Are you trying to automate the task of pulling that page and parsing it in order to pull data out of it?

I think he means highlighting text. You can't in IE.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Kinda useless if you ask me.
