Story: IE may share Mozilla 'shell:' flaw

A detail the Mozilla shell was OK per se, it's a problem in Windows that makes the shell potentially risky.

A curiosity: I wanted to quote the title, author and URL of this article somewhere, but someone pointed out there was an "invisible image hotlink". So I checked the html. Indeed, there was a line saying:

< DIV >< IMG height=3 alt="" hspace=0 src="http:// news.zdnet.co.uk/i/b.gif" width=1 >< /DIV > [spaces added to prevent it from working]

Is it on purpose that the image tag is not closed, so that you can track copy-pastes by - unwitting - bandwidth thefts?

Cheers
