It would be nasty eh? Well seems to work...I would say the JavaScript
would go in external file to complete the deception. The link will of th
thatway.html and not thisway.html, of course when JavaScript is enabled:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us">
<title>Deception</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function trick(e){
var me;
if(!e) var e=window.event;
if(e.target) me=e.target; // W3C
else if(e.srcElement) me=e.srcElement; // MSIE
if(me.nodeType == 3) me=me.parentNode; // Safari bug els with TEXT
me.href=me.title; // now do the switcheroo!
}
function initTrick(){
var dalink=document.getElementById('fakeout');
if(dalink.addEventListener){
dalink.addEventListener('click', trick, false);
}
else if(dalink.attachEvent){ //MS IE support
dalink.attachEvent('onclick', trick);
}
}
// attach event after page loads
if( window.addEventListener ) {
window.addEventListener('load',initTrick,false); //legacy
} else if( document.addEventListener ) {
document.addEventListener('load',initTrick,false); //proper
} else if( window.attachEvent ) {
window.attachEvent("onload", initTrick); //IE only
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Well, let's see here...
<a id="fakeout" href="thisway.html" title="thatway.html">Fake This Way</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Take care,
