Which operating system are you running, and with which service patch?

Messing around a bit above with the table and nested links. I think I see what you're saying. Thanks!

I noticed that right-clicking the link displays in the status bar the website it'll take you to.

YES IT DOES! Thanks for finding that out. That's a finding worth of any detective. Are Free Republic people the smartest, most insightful, and probably best looking or what?

My FireFox does the same as IE ... but I love the way it warns mean I'm closing the whole browser instead of just a window/tab! ;-)

You need to click on the download reference on the upper right side of the screen. It is in the green box with the big words "Free Download".

Run it or save it locally to run it from your drive.

You need to download a more recent version. The current version does not have the problem when you open a spoofed link in your current window.

Interesting. Here at work, if I point at the link, it still shows the correct link (Kerry's website) in the status bar, but this time it does redirect to Kerry's website (if the link its clicked on), unlike at home on the SP2, where it simply said "page cannot be displayed". Here I'm using a Mac with OS X version 10.1.5, with Internet Explorer for Mac version 5.2.3

Ok, so upgrade and all is well, right? Why is this a big deal?

If you upgrade all is indeed well. Most people don't. If you don't, you could be the victim of a "phishing" scam.
