Hello,

If I give someone the link to a webpage, is it possible to make the address in the address bar change to something else, but not load that address.. Is this possible with JS or is it illegal?

As long as you control the address that is in the address bar, you can use frames.. but that is so 90's.

I'm so glad that's not possible. Would be utterly impossible to surf the net. You'd never know were you'd end up...
