Re: How to prevent path shows up at the Address box in the browser, IE and others

[Laurie Harper <la...@holoweb.net>]

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here. At what point do you 
want the URL to remain hidden? What you have below just controls what 
gets rendered on the HTML page. The address bar will contain the URL 
used to get that page, not the URL to UsersAdministrationPage.jsp, or 
any other link on the page.

On the other hand, when the user clicks any of those links, the browser 
will load the referenced page and *then* the address bar will contain 
the URL of that page. Is this what you want to prevent?

I can only think of two ways to do that:

1) use Javascript instead of a regular href-based link to load the URL 
and replace the current page content with the content loaded from the 
new URL

2) use an enclosing frameset and target the links in your page to a 
frame in that frameset. The address bar will then always show the URL 
for the outer frameset rather than the URLs of whatever pages are loaded 
in the frames.

Of course with option 2 you have all the normal drawbacks of using 
frames, including the inability to bookmark pages.
