URI Rewrite?

[bdwise]

Is it possible to rewrite the URI shown in the browser "Address" bar
using JavaScript? That way, during a <form> POST, the "Address"
information could be captured too.

Thanks.

No, the addressbar can not display anything other then the URI of the page
loaded into the window.

captured too.

I don't see the connection.

You could do something like:

window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById('someinput').value = document.location.href;
}

but you would be safer with something like:

<input type="hidden" name="someinput" value="<?php print
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ">

Of course, users could still change the value they submit. You could also
look at the http referer header, but that is also easy to fake.
