Cloaking the entire site's URL in address bar

Should be a simple one for ya. Purchased a .com domain, and once it went online I noticed that instead of just www.habittheharley.com showing in the address bar, it shows the indivual page names, some of which look untidy. I remember back in the day when I used to get CJB to just cloak my entire site to example.cjb.net, it was a fairly simple tickbox option i recall.
How do I get it to somehow cloak the entire website URLs to be just habittheharley.com, instead of habittheharley.com/contact or habittheharley.com/photoblog? My domain/hosting provider had no idea when I rang them (netfirms)
Thanks!

That would be a good enough reason to tell this host goodbye in my opinion. How can they help you with something important if they can't answer this simple one.
There would be two ways to do what you want -
Use frames. The only URL that appears in the address bar is the URL of the frameset page. This 'solution' would be like shooting yourself in the foot, but it is one way to solve the problem
Use .htaccess or mod-rewrite (*nix, and Windows, respectively) to rewrite your URLs to whatever you want.
There's actually a third way - don't worry about it at all. Surely there are more important fish for you to fry?

IWeb wants to upload the entire site

I'm using iWeb with UK2.net to host my site. The problem I'm having is this; iWeb will take six hours to upload the site to uk2.net, and it seems to fine online but after the upload I get an error message telling me something went wrong. All the side bar icons remain red. So that means I have reload the entire site any time I want to add an update. It seems to want to upload the main hosting folder by over-righting it and that is why it takers so long. Has anyone else experienced this problem and has anyone any suggestion how to fix this?

The iWeb FTP does upload the whole folder of files created by the application although it shouldn't take 6 hours !
The alternative is to publish to local folder and upload using an FTP application. This way you can see the files on the server too to make sure they are all being uploaded and to the correct place...

The fact that you are getting an error message and the pages remain red in iWeb means the all the files aren't getting uploaded or the application is not creating the assets.http file correctly. Try the troubleshooting steps under "Fix iWeb" on this page...

Is there a way for me to block a page within a website without blocking the entire site?

I want to block some kids from my son's Facebook profile, if I block them using FB he will just unblock them. I've tried altering the hosts file but it doesn't work unless I block FB entirely. Is there a way to block pages from a site without blocking the entire site?

Not sure but try this:
-> Go to your son's page on Facebook
* Right-click empty space within the page and click '''View Page Info'''
* In the '''Page Info''' window, select the '''Permissions''' panel and change the setting to '''Block''' for all options
* Close the Page Info window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.

Launching URL without Address bar and Menu Bar

Guys,
I use the following piece of code to launch an URL from the application. I want to launch the URL without address bar & Menu bar. how this could be achieved?
<af:goLink id="gl1" targetFrame="_blank"
destination="/faces/com/abc/xyz/pages/page2.jspx?oppid=#{row.oppId}">
<af:outputText value="#{row.OpportunityNumber}" id="ot13">
</af:outputText>
</af:goLink>

Dev,
As far as I know, the only way to request a browser window to open without address/menu bar is via JavaScript (note that it's just a request - depending upon the browser being used and the security settings, the address bar in particular may end up being shown anyway). So, I don't believe you can do this with an af:goLink.
Note: why do you include an af:outputText as a child for af:goLink? af:goLink has a "text" property to display the text.
Note #2: It appears as if you are launching a link to the app itself - is the only reason you're using af:goLink instead of af:commandLink in order to ensure that the link opens in a new window?

Entering URL in address bar causes spinning beach ball...doesn't return

entering URL in address bar causes spinning beach ball. Safari then doesn't return and I have to force quit. This happens every time I try to type a url. It only
does this on one account on the computer and not another on same computer.
Under library preference I dragged the internet pref pane into trash. This did not help. I also dragged the system user perference pane com.apple.safari.plist as well into the trash but also did not fix the problem.
I can not drag the internet pref pane from the trash back to the library folder. Will this cuase any problems?

Glad you took the next step. My next suggestion was going to be the History file, which too is in the Safari folder. Sounds like that was the culprit.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

Resetting / Removing Old URLs From Address Bar When Manually Typing In URLs

How do you Reset / Remove Old URLs From Address Bar When Manually Typing In URLs. You know, when you start to tpye in www. and about 2000 URLs visted in your life, and past life, appear in a list. It's annoying as all heck, and since it's in alphabetical order it's always throwing in the first one in the list... 1800flowers in my case. Isn't there a way to reset this or something? Or better, to turn it off? I've already tried emptying cache and clearing history. I also removed the .plist files as well. What would happen if I did a reinstall of Safari?

Hello Jonny Apple Seed
The way to clear the address bar is to reset Safari, under Safari menu,
this will also clear,
"Resetting Safari clears the history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes all cookies. It also removes any saved user names and passwords or other AutoFill data and clears Google search entries.
In addition, any open windows are closed and a new window opens. The new window has a new history for the Back and Forward buttons and the SnapBack buttons". From Safari Help
A reinstalled Safari will just come to be the same, after a while. Not worth it in my opinion. The address bar will not be completely empty.
Hth some.

Why are sites not showing URLs in address bar or showing incorrect URLs?

I have just noticed that when I will open a tab and view it the URL for that tab is incorrect. It shows the URL of another site instead of the URL for the site I am viewing.
Example: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/error-8.jpg
As you can see on that screenshot I am viewing the failblog but the URl showing in the address bar is http://input.mozilla.com/sad when it should be that of the failblog. No matter how many times I refresh, close/reopen same site, close/reopen firefox, the problem persists.
Now some sites aren't showing a URL at all: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/error2.jpg
As you can see in the second screenshot the URL is missing in the address bar.
You see, when I wanted to share a link with someone today to an image of two cute piglets it kept showing me the URL to an online game instead in the address bar. This is obviously not something that is suppose to happen.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Clicking on URL in address bar does not select the URL

I have Firefox 6 recently installed with Ubuntu 11.04. When you click on the URL in the address bar to enter a new URL, the current URL does not select so that you can just type in the new URL. Instead, the cursor will mark a spot in the current URL and if you type in the new URL, it will only add the typed characters in the middle of the current URL, not replace the whole URL as it should. The only way that I can change websites is by swiping across the current URL to select it, then type in new URL. Or, right click and choose select all, then type in new URL. I have tried starting Firefox in safe mode and disabled add-ons, but still the same. I have not tried to remove Firefox and prefer not to if there is a simple fix. Thanks.

You can set the pref browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to true on the about:config page.
You can also use a double-click:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Hotkey shortcut for selecting url in address bar to type new url?

Hi, is there a shortcut hotkey for selecting all of the url in a browser window in oder to quickly type a new address, etc?
Thanks
(For example, rather than move the cursor up to an address such as http://www.apple.com is there a key combination I can use to select the entire address so I can type in a new url, such as pixar.com ?)
Sorry if this is so basic.....

oceanbluesky,

Display full page URL in address bar

I've published my site from MUSE to HTML and posted it to the GoDaddy server. Everything works, but no matter what page I'm on, the address in the browser address bar remains the same. My client wants the full address to appear so they can cut and copy the URL to specific pages into emails.
How do I get the full URL for the pages of the web site to display propertly in the address bar?
I want to mention that other sites that my client accesses are displaying correctly so it's not a browser setting. It's only when we browse to their site that the URL remains fixed for the duration of our visit.
Thanks.
Andy.

That is an Edge animation you have there. When an Edge Animation is Placed into Muse it's put inside an iframe. So when welcome.html is loaded within an iFrame, all relatively called assets are loaded within the same frame and hence the URL in the address bar never changes. You may want to set target="_top" or "_parent" on the link in Edge Animate so when the link is followed it loads in the browser and not just within the iframe Muse uses to display the Edge Animate content.
Thanks,

I foolishly removed the firefox toolbar ( meaning I have no file,view, edit, bookmark, or any other kind of tab including the search box or even a address bar). How can I get them back without reinstalling firefox please?

Hi, I wanted more room to view on the web, so I thought I'd get rid of some of the toolbars that were taking up space. I went to the edit tab (i think) and then selected toolbars and then just unticked the ones I wanted to lose.Worked like a charm...
Only problem was that I unticked the wrong one. Now I can't search on the web or enter a url as there is nothing there anymore. Any I do mean NOTHING expect my roboform toolbar and the "Getting Started" Firefox tab just above that.
Reason I stressed the "nothing" is because I went on yahoo answers and someone just said...go to edit and...He obviously didn't get that I don't have any kind of firefox tabs left on my browser ( except for the "getting started" tab)
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall as I'm worried I'll lose my bookmarked pages.
Would be really grateful if you could advise me of an alternative solution to getting my tabs, search bar and address bar back please?
Many thanks
Paul
ps as I don't have any tabs I can't tell you which version I have installed, but your clever software looks like it's got it right.

Try this: press F10 or tap the Alt key to display the menu bar temporarily, then
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
If that doesn't work, you could reset your toolbars to factory default using Firefox's Safe Mode. First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, start Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode], and check only the box to reset toolbars. Be careful not to "reset" anything else if you didn't back up.
Hope this helps.

How to Display Full URL in Address Bar?

I'm using Firefox 14.0.1 on a new computer running Windows 7 Home Edition. I cannot for the life of me figure out why my URLs are getting truncated. For instance, right now, all I can see in my address bar for this website is "https://support.mozil;" if I type in yahoo.com I end up with "http://www.yahoo.co." I can scroll through in the address bar to see the rest of the URL, but I'd like to see the whole thing at once!
I know you can type about:config into the address bar and change the value of browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false, but I tried that and it doesn't do a thing. I have Firefox on my old computer, and it's not giving me the issue there. So perhaps I have an interfering plugin? The only new thing I have on this system is HP SimplePass (I can't stand HP software). Anyone know what might be causing the issue?

I, too, had the truncated URL in the address bar. (Firefox 16.0.2 on Windows 7 Home Premium)
These measures did not help:
# about:config and change browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false
# Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox
This measure did help:
# uninstall HP SimplePass
I had had the full URL in the address bar while running HP SimplePass, so I do not believe that they are inherently incompatible. I'm just saying these measures, in this order, gave me back the full URL.

Http redirects not changing url in address bar

I'm going crazy trying to fix a major bug in our application. Http
redirects are not changing the url in the address bar of the latest versions of internet explorer. But this only happens if the redirected page is an xml page with an xslt reference for the browser to do the transformation. Mozilla seems to work fine, but I seem to have encountered a major bug in Internet Explorer. If anybody can help or at least point me in a direction I'd be SO grateful. This doesn't seem to be a java servlet specific issue, but that's what we're using so I thought I'd ask the question here too.
We have an MVC type framework we developed. For example, if you were to add something to a shopping cart, the url might be:
http://ecommerce.com/cart/add?sku=54321. In the add servlet, we would add the sku to your shopping cart and then redirect to, let's say,
http://ecommerce.com/displaycart. I think this is how most MVC frameworks work. And it works great for us.
The problem began when we started sending XML to the browser with an XSLT stylesheet. So now the browser does the transformations (if the browser is capable of doing them, which we check) instead of the server. This is a major part of our project. One of the reasons we started this.
The problem is that Internet Explorer no longer updates the url in the
address bar after a redirect. Mozilla works great though. We haven't
tested on other xslt capable browsers yet. In the example above, what would happen is after adding something to your shopping cart, the "displaycart" page would be shown but the http://ecommerce.com/cart/add?sku=54321 url would be shown in the address bar. It wouldn't seem to be too big of a deal since everything works. But now all the relative links are messed up. They start from the "cart" directory. So we need absolute links. But that introduces many other problems. We then need to know the host and the parent directories (not as easy as it seems).
So is there a solution? Is this a big bug that nobody has realized yet (or maybe they have, but my searches don't see it) in internet explorer? Is there a way for the redirected url to appear in the address bar from a browser-based xslt transformation in internet explorer? By the way, I'm testing with the latest version of IE6.0 as of July 7, 2003.
When testing, redirects work perfect if I do the xslt transformation on the server side and just send plain html to internet explorer. And it works perfect with either serverside or browserside xslt transformations in mozilla.

As I've been reading in the specs, microsoft, etc, it seems that it's not what's supposed to happen. But the specs are not very specific about this. However, internet explorer DOES always replace the url in the address bar with the redirected url if HTML is being returned from the redirected servlet. As is the case with all other browsers. So, at least, this behavior is the de-facto standard.
BUT when the redirected to page is an xml page which references an xslt stylesheet.. then, ONLY in internet explorer, the original url is what's shown in the address bar (and, more importantly, what's used as the base url). Regardless of what the links look like or how they're manipulated in the transformed HTML that ends up being shown, I can't seem to make the url in the address bar the redirected url..

Open in new tab when dragging url in address bar

Hi,
when using Firefox on a Windows system, i can get a url (not hyperlink) opened in a new tab by dragging it to the address bar while holding Alt key on the keyboard.
Now I'm using Firefox (last version) on a Linux system (Linux Mint 14, precisely) but I can't do the same; is there any solution to reproduct this behaviour?
Thanks in advance

Does it work if you press the Return key afterwards? That is what I have to do with a Mac, anyway.
