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 #11 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: While it might sound easy to just do disable changes to the url during onclick, you may well take a compat hit. Before we do this, we should at least have a test case to verify that this is the behavior of IE/FF. If this is indeed the behavior of IE/FF then I think it's fine to match that, but I worry about breaking things (I think Google used to do something similar on search results page where the href was to the actual site, but onclick it directed you through the url redirector). My preference is really to do nothing here, or at most try to improve our heuristics. I don't think it's a good idea to disable the link target indicator alltogether as it's still useful in general, it's just not something upon which you should base trust decisions. Timeouts / postponing changes etc are things that will just cause confusion (I doubt any user would understand what in the world is going on if a link suddenly doesn't work for three seconds and then starts working.) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
