Can some one point me to a script or guide me how we can hide the subdomin name from displaying on browser status and address area. Using client side or server side programing logic.

For e.g. I have an application running on a third party server and they have given me a url as http://myname.theirdomain.com.

Now I just want to display http://www.myname.com when ever my customers navigate on http://myname.theirdomain.com.

Thanks in advance.

javaScript is the quick answer although I am sure there are other scripts that can do the same.

The below is taken from Dreamweaver but should work in most browsers. You cam take out the MM_ if you like.

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

<body onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg('www.myname.com');return document.MM_returnValue">

Hope that helps.

Hi Keimos,

Thanks for your contribution, but I think the original request by aone_pro is asking for a script that would effectively cloak or mask a subdomain. The script you provided would give a default message in the browser's status bar, which is handy, but not really what aone_pro is looking for... as the address window would not be affected.

Is the subdomain a domain name in its own right?
i.e
myname.com is a registered domain name?

If it isn't, and you are referring to masking a subdomain to look like a domain in itself, then I'd be iterested as to it's existance. Because it would negate any importance of registering a domain name.

Unless, your talking about a subdomain which is under the network of a main domain name. (it's part of a bigger site-a branch of it that you have made a subdomain)

Either way, I'd be interested to see if there was such a thing.
