RE: [PHP] Fakeing the address in the bar...

I have no idea why this issue is still on the list. That's HTML not PHP: Frames are frames, they are linked, they have file references and are browser-dependent, so means you CANNOT hide anything, all you will gain is the confusion of the visitor (guess on varez sites that's exactly what needed). I wonder why they do it.. if someone's investigating the site he must be a FULL to not to be able to find the real url of the page: right-click, properties.. Gee.... -----Original Message----- From: Joseph H Blythe [mailto:joe.blythe@binarylogic.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 12:24 PM To: Dallas Kropka Cc: PHP-General Subject: Re: [PHP] Fakeing the address in the bar...

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.
