Hello all,

I've wondered this for quite some time and would finally like to implement this on my own site. I'm not sure if this is an IIS, ASP, HTML, or some other categorical question...so please excuse me if I've posted this in the wrong forum.

What I'd like to know is how some sites hide the actual file name of the page you're visiting. For example, if you navigate to MySpace, you'll see only "http://www.myspace.com"; the actual full URL is "http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm".

How do they do this and how can I? I usually use "index.asp" for my default homepage(s), but I can change this if I need to.

Thanks in advance!

This is an IIS question.

To set this up go to start --> run --> inetmgr right click on your website and select properties and go to the default document tab and add index.asp as the first element in the list box. You will then be able to do: www.mydomain.com and have index.asp automatically displayed.

hth.

Keep in mind that this only works for the default page in the root and each sub directory. If you want to keep the complete address hidden all the time you need to use frames (standard or inline) to keep the outer page always at the same place.
