Excuse my ignorance, but I have not read that book.
Could you please be more specific for what you mean by "some detail"?
I would appreciate a quotation and/or example from that book concerning
window spoofing.
I am surprised why nobody alerted Netscape and the internet community if
the bug has been known for almost two years.
According to Netscape this is a new bug.
