Again, another way of "abusing a useful feature" more then an exploit.
=P Good point. (I pointed out something similar to this long ago. Read
on.)

This certainly does still work, when coded correctly. Like this for example...

<a HREF="http://www.google.com/";
onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.microsoft.com/';return true"
onMouseOut="window.status='Done';return true">Visit Microsoft!</a>

I mentioned this quite awhile back actually (10-29-04). I documented
the method (as well as the original post) at the following page:
 - http://www.guidoz.com/btstatusurl.html

I'm not sure if all my original emails ever made it to BT. I seem to
remember some bounced (I was out of town and didn't bother to
resubmit). A reason for this escapes me though. (One wasn't provided.)
Hopefully this will make it. =)
