This is Social Engineering, and a damn fine example! This is in fact a pretty good fake-out: I'm sorry I didn't think of it myself. The obvious use here is in phishing expeditions: people *expect* that little lock to be somewhere on the screen, but how many of them would think "oh. it's in the wrong place - it's fake."? Far too few I'm afraid. -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin () mfn org "...justice is a duty towards those whom you love and those whom you do not.
