[solved] Is it possible in the php?

Post by dharprog »

Hi

Can anybody tell me about this new system.

Recently i went through one website inwhich if i click on any link in the website, in the url, site name only displays but the navigation working.

Suppose take http://www.mydomain.com, in that i click contact link/tab then it has to go to contact.* file and in the IE Browser or whatever browser the url should be like http://www.mydomain.com/contact.* . But in this site its not like that after clicking on that contact.* or whatever the link could be, its just like http://www.mydomain.com only without having any link specification in the url its working for the concern links.

Whats this logic. Could anybody tell me whats the system or atleast the concept behind this or related terminology.
If its some concept is it possible in the php?
Thank you very much.

Regards,
DharProg.

This is not PHP but client-side. Maybe this site uses AJAX to load the content in a specific container or frames. It is very bad practice to not change the URL because if someone wants to show someone else a page he cannot copy the URL and paste, but must explain how reached the content. And is not SEO friendly.

I'd advise against it. It doesn't add any functionality and breaks the back-button - which is a general big no-no in web development.

I see website that do that sometimes... never have understood the reasoning. It is totally lame. Let's see if I can dig up an example....

Totally lame. I hate when web developers do that. It looks like this guy just used frames to do it. (LAME). Did I mention that doing that is TOTALLY LAME?

If you want to do that and throw SEO out of the window, you may as well make a flash website so it might actually look decent (MIGHT :-p).

Most folks use frames to do it. It is stupid. Don't do it.

I have a few sites hosted at Network Solutions and they offer domain masking. which basically if someone enters http://www.mydomain.com it will then forward them to http://www.myotherdomain.com. no matter what page I'm on, the url at the top will never change from http://www.myotherdomain.com.

I have a few like that as well (parked at godaddy). They offer masking in that scope, but seriously, that is lame. Why do it?

Hi

Thanks alot to all. I dont wanna do it actually i just wanted to know what it is and how this is. and wanted to know is there any different concept behind this. So i came to know that there is no different concept its just frames and waste of the thing to use.

Thank you very much for participating and suggestions to all.
