ASP Question (Newbie)

[Jerry C.]

Many sites that I have been to (that are written in ASP) just show
http://www.mysite.com/default.asp in the address bar. I will navigate around
their site and go from page to page and the address does not change. I right
click on the page and select properties and the URL is the same as above.

My question is...How do they do that? I need to develop an ASP intranet,
for my company , and I would like to program it so that the user cannot see
what page they are on and any querystrings.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Jerry

Frames is one way to accomplish this. If you have a frameset that really
only looks like a regular page, redirecting the frames shouldn't affect the
address bar. The only problem is they can always right click and go to
properties.

Long story short, I'm guessing that it won't be very secure. If your data
is really sensitive, don't use querystrings at all.

what would the best way to make it more secure? Use session variables?

Don't use frames, they are "out".

Could be done like this:

========= default.asp =============

server.transfer request.form("realfilepathandname")

Well you can avoid querystrings by doing a lot of posting but I still
love having a list of things (i.e. a "many" page such as a Google
search) and having each record contain a link to that data in its own
page.
