Is your website veiled?

On my one computer I had this straaaange behaviour. Everytime a page at lohan.me loads, the top gets a shaded block that keeps anyone from clicking on anything under it. I disabled all Firefox plugins, addons and, since its my blog, I disabled all bells and whistles. I tracked the issue down to Google Analytics, specifically, the line that loads the ga.js script that plonked a ga_shade div tag down onto my otherwise unveiled website:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var gaJsHost = ((”https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);
document.write(unescape(”%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(”UA-xxxxxx-x”);
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
