Many people disable Javascript precisely because they don't like the concept of web page designers doing this sort of obfuscation. The fact that there exists a way to work around disabled Javascript *is* a vulnerability... 2) The fact that there are other ways to achieve the same end doesn't mean that it's not a vulnerability. Or do you claim that because so-called "419 scams" have been run in the past using fax spam rather than e-mail spam, that e-mail based 419 scams are therefor not a fraud? Or that because sidewalk con artists have been playing 3-card monte that pigeon drop scams aren't fraud?
