URL masking

[Christopher Pettet]

Re: URL masking

It appears (after looking at many utilities such as IISRewrite,
ISAPI_Rewrite and PageXChanger) that hiding a port in a URL is not so easy
to do without using frames. I have tried the demo versions of the
aforementioned programs and also a free URLRedirect program but none of them
seem to hide port numbers. I guess, unless someone comes up with any other
suggestion, I'll have to stick with frames which does mask ports.

Thanks to all for the tips and help so far - much appreciated...

AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX

I'd appreciate seeing the javascript encoding to do this. Passing
links through JavaScript involves using a browser with JavaScript
turned on, and for Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser the link
above indicates that ActiveX scripting MUST be implemented in
order to get this to work.

Hope that helps.
