Address Bar

[No1TamesMe]

I, for the life of me, can't figure out if this is even possible.

In IE, you have the address bar that shows the address of the page you're visiting. For example, "http://www.domain.com/htmlhelp/blah.html"

Is it possible to make it say "http://www.domain.com" and keep it as that, no matter which page inside that particular domain you're viewing?

If so, how?

Thanks so much,

I do not readily see a way but, umm...why would you want that, may I ask?

You could use frames (or an iframe), until you run into a site with a framebuster...

It appears as if he is referring just to browsing..not web design itself...I think.

tEvery page must have its own name. The name "http://www.domain.com" you refer to might be the index page. All the other page names would be added to that name. So the answer is NO, unless you want to see the same pagei
If you are refering to the code IE adds asumming you will type that, just hit enter when you type the page you want and forget that code, or I think you can set the options to stop it from doing it.:(

yup... Pyro is correct...
Frames (or an Iframes page) can give you that...

but...
why do people want to "bust" frames for anyway?
I mean... I don't use them anymore... but a lot of sites still do...

so why would anyone really need to crush them (don't they want to view pages.... or is it a "thing" to just be able to do it)?

seems stupid to me (after all... the W3 still supports frames)

people are wierd...

Yes, frames are legal HTML, but it wouldn't look good for your site to appear with a side/top frame promoting another site the visitor has just left - it would annoy the visitor and cast a bad impression on your site. I suppose some people are more concerned about it than others.

Also, some (poorly designed non flowing layout) sites may break if shown with too narrow a browser window, i.e. in a frame next to another document.
