1. I'm on a phone, not clicking
2. It's below, not on the right
3. The disclosure trigger is a block-level element, so there's a whole bunch of unmarked clickable area.
4. Why the disclosure pattern, anyway? I'm on this page to view Women's Fashion Apparel (per page title and heading)

It's been disappointing to discover that so many adults could not recognize what a fine specimen she was at either of her Halloween parties this weekend! [Nor did they know what I was talking about when I told them.]

Clipped my girlie this weekend.
