Gregory's Server@jensimmons To broaden this discussion and give you feedback you didn't ask for ...
I sometimes wonder if we should have a 'Turn off JavaScript' option in the context menu - possibly even suppressing event handlers on a per-element basis.
That would be very useful in a lot of circumstances, including this one.

That used to be a feature on the developer menus of several browsers. Although safari's used to switch it of for every window which occasionally had side effects.
I'm not sure why but it went away a few years ago.
Now you have to get plugins to do the same.
