Slick Click Trick

UH!Caption!HTML

  31 March 2006

Description

Exploit a bug in Internet Explorer to display one link (the real eBay link) yet when clicked the link within the table is actually navigated. Notice the use of a style to change the cursor to make the link appear valid and even the color is set to the 'visited link' color.

Example

<a href="https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll">

 <font color="#008000">eBay Update Center</font>
