|
|
im using no-ip.com to redirect a page to another web address location...
there is an option that allows me to mask the url and that works fine..
but when i click on a link, masking no longer takes effect and i get an unwanted long url...i want to mask every link...
any idea/suggestion? |

If you mask something like 63.203.35.55:819 to myurl.com, you can't go and then put myurl.com/dir/file.html. You still must use the original URL to provide links. The only way to have short links is associate a domain name to an IP address with an A DNS Record. _________________ Bienvenidos! |

You can mask the url using frames. Although the use of frames have disappeared since their popularity in the late 90's, they can be used for this.
I use it to mask my mail server login. http://www.mydomain.com/mail makes a frame which loads http://mydomain.dyndns.org/mail. The only downside is that when a user hovers a link it will show your long url, and the url doesn't change in the browser's address bar. Here is the html you can use to load your page. Now if you type http://user.no-ip.com it will load 63.203.35.55:819 in the browser.
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="*" cols="*" border="0" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO">
<frame src="http://63.203.35.55:819">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0">
