Hi all,

I've been trying to find more information about a tag attribute I
wasn't really aware of until today, called 'hasbox'.  Originally I
suspected Internet Explorer, but when I look in either of the Firebug
or Google Chrome consoles, I'm seeing this attribute being injected on
all kinds of tags.

Here's what I think I know:

* I don't believe apache is injecting this before sending to the
client (I'll be /very/ surprised if that's the case)
* I don't believe jQuery (used in the site's construction) is at
fault; grep doesn't find "hasbox" in the source files.
* Despite showing up across multiple browsers, I don't believe it's a
standard attribute (documentation would be easier to locate)

I've asked on stackoverflow, so far without response:
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6268640/html-attribute-hasbox>

An appeal on twitter (linking to the above url) turned up nothing.

Does anyone know what this attribute is/does and from whence it comes?

TIA,
--
