Control the URL for all documents

Hello,
How do you force the URL not to change when you move from one page to
another? I want to prevent the full URL of a document from appearing.

Thanks

Too bad.

To display the document the browser must know the URI.
Anything the browser can find out, the user can find out.
Therefore, the user can find out the URI of any document the browser
displays.

The browser can not display anything other then the URL of the top frame in
the address bar. You could try hiding it by using a frame - but this is
easily bypassable by the user (who will be irritated by the idiocy they
have to circumvent)

I have seen web site in which the main domain address stay constant in
the address bar as the user navigate within the site.
For example if I go to www.mysite.com and go to different areas within
the site, I still get www.mysite.com in the address bar.

.... and that would be a frame. Very annoying + easily bypassable.

You have already been given the answer, a framed page, the top frame will
always hold the domain address, the bottom frame the navigation, but as
you were told before it really does annoy people when they really don't
know where they are in the domain.

The only advantage I have seen is when you have a domain hosting but
domain redirection and don't want the destination domain or an IP address
to be shown.

Still it means framing the window, if you need help with that post again.

Have fun
