Hi I'm just wondering, does anyone know of any websites that will mask my URI so the user can't see it?

<snip - no URLs please>

Anyone know of any that actually work?

Thanks for any help.

One has to ask why you'd even want to do that (not asking for an answer.) This would confuse the user and probably put a dent in trust of your site.

You can use mod_rewrite to do an internal rewrite or something, but if, say, you want to have the site on somepage.example.com but still want it to "show" example.com, this won't work. somepage.example.com will still show in the address bar.

The only two ideas I have at hand are frames and using jQuery or something like it to write content to the page dynamically, both with important problems.
