Hiding Query Strings

[Krus1972]

Hello,

I have to redirect my visitors to a new page within my site using ASP. The new page has a very long querystring.

Can someone help me with a javascript snippet that I can place on the redirect page that will tell the user's browser not to show the query string in the user's address bar? I only would like the domain to show and no query string.

Thanks for any help.

Then you'll either have to use framesets, or store that information first. The only way to remove the query string is to visit a URL that doesn't have it - you cannot simply mask it.

That aside, to visit a URL in JS, you can use:

window.location = '[URL unfurl="true"]http://some.web.address/';[/URL]

Hope this helps,
Dan

You should do this param cleansing server-side (not using a client-side solution). Using ASP you can do a redirect to the URL without the query params.

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
