Holding a Fixed Address In the Address Bar

[Krus1972]

1. We are using sub-domains (i.e. xxxx.yyyy.ourdomain.com) to allow visitors to search our database.

2. Our server is programmed to redirect ALL subdomains to a single webpage that will contain the query from the subdomain (i.e.

http://www.ourdomain.com/default2.asp?query=xxxx %yyyy).

Although the visitor will be at a different page (see 2 above) within our website, we would like to keep the subdomain in the visitors' address bar shown in 1. above.

I think what we are looking for is a small javascript that will allow us to display a different address in the visitors' address bar then the acutall page they are viewing. We don't want to use frames or Iframes.

Thanks.

Why not put the query page in its own directory and make that subdirectory a virtual directory to all the subdomains? That would avoid having to spoof the URL.
