Issue 4583: URL masquerading: wrong URL shown in the status bar when mouse
hover over a link
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4583
Comment #7 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Moving to browser-backend and unassigning from myself, also removing
security and
private labels.
Javascript is a turing-complete language, and being able to know exactly
where you
are going to end up when you click on a link, in the presence of
javascript, is
equivalent to solving the halting problem. In short, you just can't do it
100%. We
have heuristics, we might be able to tweak those to catch this case (the
fact that FF
gets it right suggests we could too), but the simple fact is that this will
never be
solvable for all cases, and the status indicator is not actually a trusted
indicator,
but rather a helpful suggestion of where you might be going. The only way
to actually
find out where you're going to end up is to try it, and then look at one of
the
trusted indicators (URL bar, page info).
BTW - AAARGH to these stupid collision notices. Why can't I just say "Yes I
know
there was a collision" and post it anyways? And going back resets the form.
AAAH!
