how to replace the URL in the address bar

Mark Kamoski

Hi--

How can one replace the URL in the address bar to a "friendly alternative"?

Is there a way to do this with JavaScript?

Is there a way to do this ASP.NET?
For example, suppose I have a site that has the URL...

http://www.MySite.com/

....and when I browse to one section in this site, the URL may look like
this...

http://www.MySite.com/Products/

.....and when I browse to another section, the URL may look like this...

http://www.MySite.com/Data/Page.htm?...Description=52

....and so on, with many different ugly URL strings....

....now, what I want to do is to make the URL in the browser's window always
look like this...

http://www.MySite.com

....no matter what page I am on in the site.
What do you think?

Is there a way to do this with JavaScript?

Is there a way to do this ASP.NET?

Please advise.

Thank you very much.

The answer is easy--no! You can't do that by javascript or asp.

However, if you use asp, why not design a page, say
http://www.MySite.com/main.asp, which
take parameters from the client to give requested page. If the form data is
POST to the
sever, it won't appear on the address bar.

But it will make your life difficult. Even Microsoft uses "ugly" addresses,
doesn't it?
