Web address stays for offsite links? Help.

Jun 05.2006

I have built a websote for the sports association im involved with. Someone else in the association purchased the webaddress for us. Now when you navigate around the site the web address stays the same (I beleive its called Blind DNS?).

The problems start when you follow an offsite link. The web address stays the same even though the site is different.

I currently have 2 offsite links on the site and it happens with both of them.

Does anyone have an idea whats causing it and more importantly how to fix it so the the web address stays for all pages ONSITE but changes when going to the off site link?

Thanks in advance.

By the way the address is [url]www.mafaonline.com[/url]

@ispartacus75authorJun 05.2006 — This may or may not be linked to my other thread regarding offsite links but Ive kept it as a seperate question.

If I navigate to a page on my site away from the home page and hit F5 or refresh it automatically loads the homepage instead of refreshing the current page.

What can be causing this?

The URL for the site stays the same for all pages (I think this is called Blind DNS Forwarding). Could this be the problem? How would it be fixed?

Thanks in advance for all advice.

@David_HarrisonJun 05.2006 — I've merged the threads, these are both the same problem.

The "blind DNS forwarding" is the problem, it's basically a posh way of saying that your site is held in a frame. The URL at the top will always read http://www.mafaonline.com/ but the actual main page is at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ispartacus75/MAFA/

That's a major problem with frames, the URL doesn't represent the page (or pages) that the user is viewing. Frames have been completely removed from the latest generation of markup (XHTML 1.1), though there is a replacement for them in the works called XFrames, they're part of XHTML 2.0 which is still in development.

Given that blind DNS is the problem is there a way to solve it without showing the 'actual' address of the site and each page?

Success!
