How to Hide the Server name on the url

**sathishbabu** · 07-19-2007, 07:37 AM

Hi,

I have been working with an intranet site. The problem is when i roll over on any link it shows the url on the status bar with the server name like the one below.

://servername/subfolder name/file name.html

rather than

://domain name/subfolder name/file name.html.

Pls help me out.
Thanks.

And what is your problem with that?

It can be that the links are pointing to a relative location, eg:

Code:

herf="/folder/gallery.php"

rather than

Code:

href="http://domain.com/folder/gallery.php"

In that case, the browser add the current site name (or sever name) to complete the url

i think you can fix that with a file named .htaccess

I am curious so can you give a link?

If you don't want any link shown you can use a bit of JavaScript like I have on one of my sites Webhost Reviews.

The only code you need is this:

Code:

function hidestatus(){
window.status=''
return true
}
if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT)
document.onmouseover=hidestatus

document.onmouseout=hidestatus
