Can anyone tell me if this is a dated SM issue or if I need to change a

Recently on Home Depot's website when I click on images to expand they
do not open. It works fine on FireFox. Spoofing UA did not help.
Does it work for others?

I have the same behavior as the OP, with that box unchecked.

When I mouse over the image, the cursor changes to a hand, as if it were a link, but right-clicking does not offer the usual link options (open in new tab, etc.). Instead, I get image options (view image, etc.).

Javascript is enabled in the browser.

The site developers have wrapped the content in swathes of JavaScript to minimise the chance of correct operation across browsers. Presumably the same motivation explains the duplicate element IDs and unbalanced double-quotes in the source. Forgivingly, SeaMonkey manages to render this garbage.

Clicking a product image fails because jQuery receives a null event, a big success for the developers.

However right-click>View Image works fine, the developers having surprisingly forgotten to try to disable the right-click menu. To see the thumbnail images in full size, change the final part of the image URL "...-....jpg" to "...-64_1000.jpg".

I have severe doubts that actually buying anything will work, though, but presumably once you've identified your desired product you'll use eBay or Amazon to buy it, another big win for the Home Depot guys.

Hmm. that is all well and good but the fact of the matter is that it works fine in FireFox so why not SM?

It does work to click and order, I have done so quite a bit. They simply have much I want that Amazon does not and bonus I can pick it up at the local HD store.


Two reasons I can think of, WaltS48 has described one of them and browser sniffing - not handling the browser's identifying string correctly - would be the other. I suppose you could play around with that a bit, reversing the "advertise firefox compatability" setting, but from what Dirk Fieldhouse has said, the site's coding is so screwed up that getting anything working would be a matter of luck.
