hello guys..<br />
does anyone know... how to mask the original url address which is being displayed on the address bar and instead display another address which i like ...<br />
<br />
for example let my address be .... <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.somewhere.com/everywhere/prince/dumb.html">http://www.somewhere.com/everywhere/prince/dumb.html</a><!-- m --> <br />
<br />
..i don' have a domain of my own but i would like it displayed in the address bar [ not the status bar ]of the browser as<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.prince.com/dumb.html">http://www.prince.com/dumb.html</a><!-- m --> ... <br />
please tell some method.. using javascripts or somethin.. im not meanin any frames... and no redirection ... don' please tell an idea coz i don' know how to put it to code ... so i do need the script ..<br />
<br />
do mail me an answer someone if u find anything... puhleeze ...<!--content-->actually on the drive to work this morning i was thinking about the same thing... and came to the conclusion that this can be achived by placing your site into one frame and address all the links inside that frames page!<br />
<br />
this way the address would always remain <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/">http://www.yourdomain.com/</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
however adding the dumb.html behind it for per pages, well... mabey re-directs? i hope this gives you an idea!<br />
<br />

chris<pixelmonkey>:monkey:<!--content-->OOO and welcome to the forums!<br />
chris<pixelmonkey>:monkey:<!--content-->You can use mouseover effects. Here is a sample:<br />

Good Luck,<br />
Paul<!--content-->well guys what i meant wuz nothing of this sort and not at all about the status messages ...<br />
<br />
i'll try to explain what i meant ...<br />
<br />
suppose my address is ..<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://members.tripod.com/prince/something.html">http://members.tripod.com/prince/something.html</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
and i dont have a domain of my own ... then heres the bit ... but i want it displayed on the <br />
address bar of the browser [not the status ] a different address i specify such as ..<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.prince.com/something.html">http://www.prince.com/something.html</a><!-- m --> ...<br />
<br />
hope u guys did get what i meant ...<br />
send help ...<!--content-->There has to be a domain for you to display it in the address bar. You can redirect it, so that the domain doesn't actually have to be hosted where your site is hosted, but there has to be one.<!--content-->i hope someone do know how to solve this lil' prob ...<!--content-->The closest you can get, without buying a domain, is to get a free subdomain redirect, such as they have at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cjb.net">http://www.cjb.net</a><!-- m -->. I'm sure there are tons of others and someone will post them. If you want a .com address with no subdomain, you have to purchase a domain. Then you can get it redirected to free web space if you wish.<!--content-->i dont think that is quite psooble. there is a service called <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.redirection.net">www.redirection.net</a><!-- w --> that will hide the url even not in frames. the only thing is, even when you click a link, it will always stay <--www.whatever.com-->> if this is confusing i will try and break it down:<br />
<br />
-your real site is <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tripod.com/prince/">www.tripod.com/prince/</a><!-- w --><br />
-redirection.net masks it to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.prince.com">www.prince.com</a><!-- w --><br />
-surfer types in <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.prince.com">www.prince.com</a><!-- w --><br />
-he is redirected to content from tripod.com<br />
-but he still thinks he is at prince.com<br />
-but, when he click a link to /ex.htm<br />
-the address bar still reads <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.prince.com">www.prince.com</a><!-- w --><br />
<br />
this creates two problems. the surfer cannot bookmark the pages. secondly, your links would have to be "dynamic" (i can't remember what they are called) instead of static, unless you typed in <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tripod.com/prince/ex.htm">www.tripod.com/prince/ex.htm</a><!-- w --> i hope this helps.=)<!--content-->guys i din mean that either (gettin a redirection) .. i dont want to use a redirection ... what im asking for is to change the url on the address bar using javascripts or anything... i dont want to use frames <br />
<br />
<br />
OR does anyone know of a free redirection host which does not use frames ..<br />
<br />
<br />
someone please find an answer...!!<!--content-->So, what you're saying is that you want a javascript that will put a domain you don't own into the address bar when someone views a page at your site?<br />
I don't know if that's possible, but it's just a bad idea on any level that you look at it. From your point of view, it's a poor idea. One refresh and the visitor is off in 404 land. <br />
If the domain is owned by someone, they'll no doubt find out about it soon enough and put a stop to it immediately.<!--content-->..forget refreshing ... still is their a way to get it done ... or is their any redirection which does not use frames ...<!--content-->I can't be done without use of domain name forwarding (redirection). If you don't have a domain name then you are out of luck.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
Kevin<!--content-->but isnt their something that could solve the problem ..?<br />
<br />
with dyin' hopes ....<!--content-->A very small investment in a domain name and you're good to go.<!--content-->well that wuz some kind advice ..!!<!--content-->Well, it's not that people don't want to give helpful advice, but there's really no way to have a domain name in your address bar if you don't actually have the domain name, I guess. When you think about it, that's really for the best. Suppose you could. I could have htmlforums.com on an address bar on my site and give visitors the impression that they're here when they're not. That would be..let's see..fraud, I think.<!--content-->good call Z. <br />
Its not as though $30 a year is a monumential investment.<!--content-->Right - or less. There are lots of places to register one for $15 or less per year.<!--content-->if you did get it running though, say your little <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.prince.com/something.html">http://www.prince.com/something.html</a><!-- m --> website doesn't exist. It's just in the address bar. If someone tries to bookmark your page, they'll get a 404 error. Or if they look at the status bar and remember the addy, same thing. 404 error.<br />
<br />
Sorry, just a little advice, I dont think that really is a good idea in the first place, but I also dont think it's possible<br />
<br />
sorry, keep smiling<br />
<!--content-->well guys im not into any commercial web development ... so it leaves out the qs. of buying a new domain .. for this purpose ...<br />
<br />
thanx for all the msg's & advices .. guys ...<br />
<br />
still i couldn't get to what i had in mind .( well at any rate im not thinking of fraud or anything of that sort )<br />
