How does one get rid of the other information that appears in the address bar ?

[Bern]

I want to get rid of the other information to prevent the user from perhaps cheating a company when it comes to purchasing items.

For Example.

this is the test link that i had in the address bar.

file:///C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/stuff/confirm.html?camera=on&Qty1=1&Price1=50.00&Amt1=50.00&video=on&Qty2=4&Price2=200.00&Amt2=800.00&Qty3=0&Price3=20.00&Amt3=0&Qty4=0&Price4=40.00&Amt4=0&Subtotal=850.00&Shipping=12.00&Tax=68.00&Total=930.00

Right now it is a file, but would this happen in a http address ? and if so, how do i get rid of the other information after the ?

Really appreciate any help or advice over this !
thanks for reading this thread !

Your ordering system is using GET queries to transfer data between pages. It should use POST instead, though this still may not be completely secure.

If it is written in Javascript, you need to find a server-side version that is not JS dependent.

Are you using JavaScript to grab the text after the '?' or a server side language? If your using a server side language:
a) You can use the 'POST' method, rather than 'GET'
b) This post should be in a different forum.

If your using JavaScript you can't modify the address bar text unless you redirect to another page. Another option instead of using the '?', would be to use a temporary cookie to store infromation between pages.

Hope this helps,
