I'm not sure I agree with training users that the url is meaningless. This goes against everything people know about browsing. They use urls for bookmarks, look at the list in there address bar for one they recognize, etc. You could train internal people but for internet sites this seems unreasonable.
I don't like the frames approach because then you can't bookmark any pages. This is really frustrating for people. Also, redirects aren't much slower than forwards so I use them when I want to make sure the user doesn't get confused and repost form data. This seems easier to me than training millions of people :-). Dave >From: "Craig R.
