Hi

I have an url (example.com) that is re-directed to another name. When the user enters example.com, however, I want the other (re-directed to) domain to show in the Browser History List* and not example.com.

(*The Browser History List is the drop-down box of 25 or so recently visited url's).

So to recap, I am looking for the 're-directed to' url to be shown in the BHL record and not example.com. Either that, or no url is to be recorded/shown at all.

Regards,
richardchaigh

There is no way that server-side code can affect the operation of the user's browser, and frankly, I'd argue that this is as it should be. You can use client-side JavaScript to tinker with the browser history, but the fact that some Web users disable JS (or at least some of the functions in its DOM) should give you pause to consider find a more forthright way of doing whatever it is that you're trying to do.
