I can't figure out what it is that's preventing me from selecting text
on Snopes.com pages like the one at
http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp
I've tried it in IE and Firefox. Going by the source code, it all seems
like it should be ordinary, selectable web page content.

There is a transparent iframe in there, written with JavaScript. Not

than the usual "Nyah Nyah, you can't right-click here!"
