[gentoo-user] OT - ORT invisible

2005-11-06 Thread Antoine

Hi,
I am trying to set up a website for my father and wanted to use a free 
hosting service here in France (1 gig space + php + mysql, no ads - so 
not to be sniffed at!). I have got myself a domain name (for me not him, 
but it is just for testing...) and am trying to work out whether it is 
possible to make it so that the user doesn't see the fact that it is on 
a free host. I am using the redirection provided by my dns service to 
point to a directory on the free site 
(http://antonovich.free.fr/DerekMelser). When I put the url 
http://www.antonmelser.org into the url bar it does indeed take me 
there... but clicking on the links on the page keeps the same thing 
there (eg, the link 
http://antonovich.free.fr/DerekMelser/journal/recent.html), which means 
still http://www.antonmelser.org. That would be OK but unfortunately 
even when I click on a link to an external site the 
http://www.antonmelser.org stays there... not so nice! I get the same 
with firefox and konqueror and even IE on doze - so it looks more like a 
feature than a bug - can someone enlighten me on this?

Cheers
Antoine

Your links going external are still opening within the frame. The
redirection will be setting a full page frame and then load the free
host within that frame.

For your external links to show with the correct url you will need to
jump out of hte frame - so setting a target of _top should do that :)

Thus, a href=http://www.someexternalurl.com; target=_topGo
Elsewhere/a
