Wow. The only way to improve on this would be to have the sa account use the same password as all the users, and for that password to be password.

Might as well just sticky-note the password to the front of the server and e-mail it to the whole company...

They don't happen to do anything with credit card data, do they? What's that company name again??

The current cast of idiots, no - but the last crowd...
When I worked for this bunch of simpletons (in the pre-HMV/Waterstones days: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottakar's[^]
They had an "online ordering" system powered by Access '97, called 'Snowy'. One day 'Snowy' bit the bullet, and muggins here was called in to sort out the mess. Unfortunately I was unable to save the 'wonderous' GUI end of the application, however I did walk away with the data aspect of the system...
...and what a system! Hundreds of un-normalized tables, no relationships, only a passing attempt at primary keys... and thousands of plain text user details received over the web (which I later found out were sent via email from the website to the "Internet" Dept, including, but not limited to: passwords, personal info such as date of birth and security confirmation questions and credit card details - including expiry dates!
I burned the entire shooting match to CD - I still have it somewhere

You didn't happen to save the coloring books, did you? I mean what other documentation could they have had?

Sadly not - but I did liberate a (new, untouched) copy of E-Commerce for Dummies from the IT & Communication Manager's office

Apparently they were too embarassed to read it. Nor have they watched the News either, bringing up all kinds of credit card fiascos in the last 5 years. Management - what do we pay them for again?

I know the "Mouse is starring at the snake" Story too much out of my own experience, so I made the princiole decision, if I am in such case I gotta do something. One option is ALWAYS "run away".

Well none of these did anything in either IE or FireFox, what was I supposed to see?

Have you downloaded the txt file? If you haven't, please download the txt file.
You can check the comments in that post. The script works for those commenter when they download the txt file. I think that copying code from post make some problems.
It should work on either firefox or IE6/7.
Please try again. Hope it works.

Turn on firebug and you will see it's doing a lot... errors.

I'm sorry, but how does this fit into the Coding Horrors section? Have you encountered these items in development/production? They just seem to be "amusing" things to do with JavaScript.
