Or even a fake "a" tag:

<span style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; cursor: hand;"
onmouseover="window.status = 'http://www.msn.com/';"
onmouseout="window.status = 'Done.'" onclick="document.location =
'http://www.google.com'"> Visit Msn! </span>

I thought this was obvious, but having seen the amount of discussion,
here's another URL spoofer:

<a href="http://www.google.com"
onmousemove="window.status='http://www.msn.com';"
onmouseout="window.status='Done.';">Visit Msn!</a>

note that 

<a href="http://www.google.com"
onmouseover="window.status='http://www.msn.com';"
onmouseout="window.status='Done.';">Visit Msn!</a>

won't work - it seems MS have already half fixed this....

(tested on MSIE 6.0, winXP)
