How do I prevent my htm/shtml files from being a part of the url in a registered domain name?

I'm talking so that when people view any page of the site eg. http://blah.com they don't see http://blah.com/index.htm

Hear what I'm saying?

Ummmm, nope, can't hear it but I saw it.  So, like, if you type in
my.domain.com that's what you should see in the window.  You shouldn't see my.domain.com/index.html unless you type that specifically.  That only applies to the index file.  That said, to hide a (non-index) page name, you would pretty much need frames or have it called up by a script (a return page from a perl script, for example).  That's the best I can think of.  I'm sure there'll be more ideas.

If you don't want to use frames and it's not a really big issue you could use a java script to hide the address bar.  You'd have to make sure you could easily navigate through our site, though

I would close any page without nav bar down hehe    I hate that, script itself is very buggy there is no perfect bersion for it, cross browser compatibility sticks too.

Anyhow you either will need to use frames or as script as web man said

What did ya have in mind?
             
You want the whole site to go through the script?  Actually it wouldn't be TOO difficult.  Gimme just s wee bit of time on this one, unless someone else has something right away.  But, WAIT!
How will you hide the address of the script?!?
j/k, I'll see what I can come up with

   Bluegirl

Make sure to leave spaces after your message so that is will not come scrolling right after another. Good luck!

well Bluegirl, the idea of  "    " is that i am with a person, addressed as stupid. the arrow points at the person above you, so make sure you post right after the person you are calling stupid. and i don't mean for that sign to be calling you stupid, its just an example. i think that makes sense, but, we are getting

Thx Bluegirl,

It's not what I'm after.  I mailed you.  That's a scrolling script for the bar down the bottom of your browser.

I'm after something that'll cloak the addy in the address bar and remove the file extensions from the url.

Nice script tho  

Thanks.

To be honest i have never seen a script that cloaks adress bar without forcing it to be closed    

Im thinking MAYBE with javascript that can replace search bar text, i can force it to cloak adress bar text i will try.

Why would you want that anyhow? I cannot think of any instance even with security issues that would force me to hide the adress bar... Hehe whats goin down Amy  

Either way i promise i will ask around and see if anyone has heard/knows how to script such thing    Maybe someone here knows?

Dude, you're goin' down if you don't find me a solution    

Actually, nevermind, it must be my imagination.  I thought it was standard with a domain name.

I enjoyed giving you all brain f**k tho

Here's one that will open a new window in full screen mode, hiding the address bar

http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/full-screen.html

I'd love to get a script that displays something other than the address in the address bar though...that would be cool

So, Amy, is it 'goin down', or 'nevermind'?  Actually, on reading these enlightening posts, I realized you might be able to use a simple JavaScript statement to hide the address bar.  Of course, the user can just right-click the toolbar and choose to display it again. Otherwise, you're running every page in your site through a perl script.
BTW, I posted that drop menu script....
