For this purpose, I use 'yesscript'. it's the opposite of No script, in
that it uses a Blacklist to turn off scripts from annoying sites at the
click of an icon, but as a benefit, does not fark up your on-line orders
when you are trasported to a payment processor that requires javascript.
 (as one example of many of ways that noscript can really mess you up.)
