Careful. Here's a more relevant example of the spoof:

http://www.georgewbush.com/

strange, when you right click on the link and hit properties, you get the real URL (johnkerry.com)

Download FireFox here:

This is the latest version of the old Netscape browser code.

And that link isn't spoofed! :-)

Interestingly, on my system, using the MS/Google link, Firefox shows the MS page with MS in the address bar, while Opera shows the Google page with Google in the address bar.

bump....

Firefox 1.0pr goes to President Bush's site, but IE goes to the Kerry site.

But in Firefox, right clicking and checking the properties opens the President's site anyway when you close the box. weird....

Thanks for the heads up.

Weird problem "solved".

In Firefox, your link acts as if it stretches all the way to the right, though I highlighted everything and nothing is there. Apparently I clicked on that empty space when closing the Properties box, and went to the President's site.

Does any other FF user see that? I don't see it in IE6.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Using Firefox 1.0PR, clicking the link takes you to georgewbush.com, opening it in a new tab goes to johnkerry.com.

mark for later

Interesting. I never would have thought of that, even with the coding errors I make due to incompetent typing and caffein withdrawl...or both.

'Nuff said.

bump, when you say be caeful, if we try it, will we be sent to a porno site or end up with a virus?

I right clicked your link, and under properties it says the link equates to www.johnkerry.com. However, when I do a single left-click on the on the link, in order to follow it, I am taken to Gearge W. Bush's web site anyway. I am running Netscape 7.1. So it seems that my version of Netscape was not fooled.

displaying http://www.microsoft.com in the browser, but sending the user to Google.

Didn't happen to me.

Of course, I'm using Mozilla...

Hm.

. Users running Windows XP SP2 (IE version 6.0.2900) and the open source Firefox and Mozilla browsers are not affected.

I hate to say this but XP SP2 is just as vulnerable to the spoof as any other version of Windows XP.

[FourtySeven]

I see the correct link in the status bar. I'm guessing it's because I have SP2. I'm going to try this at work where I don't.

[k2blader]

Hm, trying again using their code:

Okay, I don't understand what the table tag is for.
