Hello All.
I have transfered my domain to a registrar that supplies Forwarding using framesets. Is anyone familiar with how this works. I would like to hide the url of the dir. the domain is ointing to. In other words....I would like the addressbar to read www.(my domain).com and not www.(my other domain).com\my domain\. can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Hi jtsoos,

If this is a service your registrar provides then try contact them telling them what you would prefer. They should be able to ablige. I don't think this is something you can do unless it is a dedicated server.

There should be two options available from the registrar. One will pull the website into the frame and therefore the URL will display the original address and the user will be none the wiser.

You have to make sure then though that the site you are pulling contains frames otherwise the URL will show the second you click on a link.

NCSUK-
I believe what you said is the answer I am looking for. So now can you give me some help.LOL Does every page need to be in a frameset? If they do....could you point me to a spot I might learn framsets from. i have tried in the past with no success. Thank you,Jtsoos

Ask and ye shall recieve,

Basically if you have a menu in a frameset you should have the links pointing to a page within the framset.

Basically <a href="whatever" target="main"> or something similar.

If you need more information ill stick it on this page so everyone can read it (and so the moderators dont shout at me) :)

Okay so any link that I have which is HTML works and the URL stays the same. But any link that is a javascript rollover changes the url to show the true location. Any ideas?
