Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

You can use Frames [w3.org] to achieve this effect.

Why?

Doing this annoys many (most?) users, and prevents people from linking to or bookmarking your content pages (unless they break out of your frames first). What do you think you'll gain from this?

Thank you.

eelixduppy is right, you can achieve this using frames, but do you really want to? Hiding the true address from users sure isn't going to inspire confidence in your site. Is there any specific reason why you want to do this?

From a users point of view I would advise against it.

I too vote no on this idea. Why would you want to do that? This will confuse inexperienced surfers, and it will infuriate everyone else.
