Hi Guys

I am told that I can hide the URL in the address bar by using frames. I am building a site with the usual menu bar on the left side but I am not using frames (so far) as I would like the new pages to open on a full screen. Could somebody please explain how this is done.

I am very much a newbee so the explanation needs to be easy to understand.

Thanks

I'm not too sure when you say hide the URL, because it's not possible. The URL of your main index file will always appear in your browser window at the top. But, if you want something to open into a new window, you just add target="_blank" into your link. For example:

<a href="http://www.lissaexplains.com" target="_blank">
BLAH BLAH BLAH</a>

Thanks for the swift reply Zangerbanger

I did not make myself clear. I DO want the index file to appear, I don`t want the other links to appear.

Does that mean your solution applies?

Thanks again

With frames you will see the first url, so fromt he index.html page. The other urls will not be viewed in the adress bar

however it is not possible to use 2 frames and then the links to open in a full size screen into the same browser, because you use frames you can only let them open in one of the two frames you made on your index.html page. In order to let them open full size you have to use the code zangerbanger has posted

Love,

i don't think you can hide the url either. you can do like zangerbanger suggested and target which ever frame you want. just replace the '_blank' with the frame name. the url won't show but if the user is savvy enough they'll just do a right click and choose 'Properties', that'll show the url.

Yes, you can do this. I'm not entirely sure how, but it involves a redirect.

Ever been to a .tk site? Their .tk's simply redirect you to a website, and the url will always be whatever the .tk is, for example, buggirl.tk will always appear in the address bar.

They do this with frames....but again, im not entirely sure how. I know it has to do with the popup ad they have on every .tk site.

I think you could use this code:

<frameset>
<frame src="yourwebsite" name="content" scrolling="auto" noresize>
</frameset>
