How is this done? and can it be done in PHP? One strange method I have found is to have two framesets one inside each other the outermost frameset has one frame taking up the whole page and the other a zero value. Then you have another frameset inside this one, this way no matter where you go in the site the address always stays at the first frameset, it is a good way to hide all the url strings etc. One draw back that happened to me was when I switched to a secure site of course the url did not reflect this so to an un trained eye the page appeared to be insecure, a right click-> properties on the innermost frame would reveal that the page is actually encrypted and being called from another address. The only other draw back of this method is the fact it uses nested frames and can get a bit confusing, not to mention that it uses frames in the first place. Hope this helps, Regards Joseph.
