Hiding Parameters From The Address Bar

[Tirka]

hi All,

if i want to pass parameters between pages... e.g. a href="page2.asp?name=Brian"...

is there a way of hiding this so that the name=Brian part does not appear in the address bar... I would prefer not to have to use forms and buttons to do this...

hi tirka,
sorry u to the best of my knowledge there s no way u can hide the paramters from displayed in address bar. you are supposed to use buttons(even if u dont prefer) with post method in form attribute. If i am wrong i am sorry. take care

thanks mrvigneshmca for responding to my query...
but are websites that works that way...
they either hide the parameters or show them encrypted...
so must be a way...if anyone can help me on this, i would be much
obliged.

you can use frames on your main page... when you go to other page and you target your new page to open in one of your frame the main url will not even change but your new page is displayed
