Tried that but even clicking on the ok button in the prompt fails to allow 
the proper operation - want to purchase something, clicking in add to cart - 
prompt - ok - next screen says shopping cart empty. So it acted as if I has 
refused  to allow the action.

On a site that had a 'slideshow' of pictures, the button to activate does 
show a slideshow on another computer and when I copy shortcut, is shows: 
javascript:void(0) - so something is happening.
