Not So Fast

The thieves are just going to use onMouseOver="" to change the status bar to what they want. :|

For sure and I just updated the page to demo that.

»209.123.205.211/symantec/worse2.html

Which also erases the funny lookin link from the status bar of mozilla (but not if you visit the page, of course, then mozilla/firebird/opera are showing the fake out).

Using that page, I noticed that the URL in the status bar always goes back pointing back to symantec.com no matter which link I hover over when using Firebird.

How do you get it to display the address in the status bar once the page has been loaded? I have my status bar on but once the page is loaded I can no longer see where I'm really at.

cannot.
once you are there, you can either hover over links in the page (but status bar can be over-ridden with javascript) or do right button view properties on the entire page (or file view properties from the browser menu).

I've just tried both Firebird and Opera.

Neither one of those are capable of successfully
loading some of the "secure" sites I _must_ log
onto (if I want to get paid).

(example site: yoh.dayzim.com)

(after I log in none of the required pages will
will load)

Looks like I'm stuck with IE and being very careful.
