anybody knows of a html code that makes sure the url never changes? for example you visit macrumors.com and click on the forums, it still says https://www.macrumors.com in the adress bar.

thanx :)
 
Yes, it can be done, but its not html code, it has to be done with your service provider. It was called DNS Pointing with the company I used to use. You could choose whether to let the address bar show the true url (which was my .mac website at the time) or stay on the purchased url.

If you do it this way, don't you have to have *every* sub-URL point? I mean... normally, DNS Pointing is done so that you have your:

http://www.imtoocheaptobuyrealwebspace.someoneelsessever.com/users/a/g/hereiam/

And you want that folder to appear as:

http://www.iRock.com

But then,

http://www.imtoocheaptobuyrealwebspace.someoneelsessever.com/users/a/g/hereiam/pics/1.html

appears as:

http://www.iRock.com/pics/1.html

Which I think, is not what the OP wants.

I think you'd have to use CSS or Frames or something like that to get what you want -- it'd involve updating the page content without actually loading a new top level URL (the frameset, in frames, or whatever it's called in CSS).
 
Nope. On mine, you were able to navigate around the whole site and the url stayed the same. Actually, that got to be a little annoying, because if you clicked on a link that took you to an different site, my url stayed in until you actually typed a new url or clicked a bookmark.

Hey, no prob, I would have never known about it if I hadn't signed up with a sorry webhost in the first place. They pretty much sucked about everything.
