Egads... that is one of the most convoluted uses of Javascript that I've seen. In my opinion, things like that ought to be discouraged, if only because of the *major* accessibility issues of 'encrypting' a site using Javascript. And why do I put 'encrypting' in quotes? Because it can easily be *decrypted* using what Javascript is already there, just by swapping out eval() with document.write(), lathering, rinsing, and repeating. Decrypting the script in such a manner shows that it specifically checks for "Netscape" in the browser string if it's discovered to be a Gecko browser. It works in NS6/7, in other words, but not in any other Gecko-based browser.
And it's STILL convoluted!
