Javascript to hide *true* url.

[BliarOut]

Does anyone have a bit of code that obscures the true url in your browser window.... I just want something scrolling in the bottom left corner of the browser as my personal site is a redirect and I don't want people to see....

I know the old porno sites used to do this but I can't find the code snippet I used to use at the mo

I didn't think you could do that without URLRewriting/virtual dirs etc. Although I stand to be corrected. The easiest way I would have thought is to hide the address bar.

Frames old love.

That'd do it, rather than a redirect?

I'm already in a frame thanks to my current host.... There's definitely a way to do it with JS but I'll be buggered if I can remember it.

I dont think you can do it with JS, on a security basis, same as not being able to pre-populate a <input type="file"

Not possible with javascript I'd say.

Frames are your friend or one of the redirects available under *nix or isapiredirect on IIS.

I had to make do with hiding the status bar text in the end as it looks like browsers are a bit more secure these days!

I just didn't want people to see the true url as they roll over my rollovers.

I knew all that porn surfing wouldn't be in vain

I've replaced the <> brackets with [] brackets so it will post.


[script]
function hidestatus(){
window.status=''
return true
}

if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT)

document.onmouseover=hidestatus
document.onmouseout=hidestatus
[/script]

Erm, wouldnt relative rather than absolute paths do the same thing?

[BliarOut]

I'm using relative paths, but my (cheapie) domain hosting solution prevents me from doing things how I want...

To navigate I have to put www.mybusinesssite/mypersonaldirec as the link, not the usual www.mypersonalsite/filename.html

Yes, it's poo but hiding the status bar works for now.
