Hi, my name is Nick and I'm new to these forums. I'm an artist and I'm creating a website to act as a gallery for my art. I have a great domain name (studioangelo.com) but I'm hosted under freewebs.com, which is somewhat embarrassing. Heh. :rolleyes:

So, when you go to click a hyper-link on my page, the link to "freewebs/whatever" is displayed on the status bar. Is there anyway for me to mask this? Thanks.

I'm sorry this has nothing to do with what your asking. but you had said your going to display art that you made.. I don't know if you know about this rule.. might want to think of the "No-right click"rule. there are 2 different ways of doing it.

Here's the website to one that has the code all spelled out for you and you can edit when you paste. Free site!

1st way: I just found yesterday which seems better! the only buttons that show are the ones you create.

http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/right-click-menu.html

2nd way: which i' going to stop using. this one only disables the save as but all the other buttons show
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
<!-- Original: Martin Webb (martin@irt.org) -->

<!-- Begin
function right(e) {
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape' &&
(e.which == 3 || e.which == 2))
return false;
else if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' &&
(event.button == 2 || event.button == 3)) {
alert(" RIGHT HERE IS WHAT EVER TEXT YOU CHOOSE TO SHOW*
.3
14);
return false;
}
return true;
}

document.onmousedown=right;
document.onmouseup=right;
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);
window.onmousedown=right;
window.onmouseup=right;

Disabling the right click menu is only annoying. Determined people will always be able to download whatever they can view in their web browser no matter what you do.

hmm ok. thank you.

how then could i get links to sub-sites on my domain such as "www.studioangelo.com/gallery" instead of the free webs address (www.freewebs.com/italianice388/gallery.htm) ? Because currently the standard "studioangelo.com" is the only non-free webs URL having anything to do with my site. Thanks in advance.

Hi Nick,
Look, forget free web hosting. It only costs about £15/year to have 10meg of hosting space and of course completely pucker URL references to all your directories. I have two web sites with Saffas.com and have no complaints; they have always been more than helpful. We're talking UK here but the principle applies anywhere. :)

Join up with dotk http://my.dot.tk they will give you a sub domain which will mask you url. All you have to do then is give the people you want to link to you is the address the people at dottk gave you. Here is an example, my site is hosted with geocities www.geocities.com/ritual05 . They will give you an address similar to this one http://www.ritual05.tk (my site masked) and the best part is its free and you get to choose the address but it has to have the .tk part. simple. Try visiting my site.
