It works fine, but I would like to retain the domain name on the browser address bar rather than the actual website domain name. The redirected domain host does not have the facility to mask as some hosting companies do. Is there another way to do this that won't upset the SE's?

Like so. <frameset> <frame src="http://actual-url.anotherhost.com/page.html"> </frameset> Then your main domain name will be in the frameset page window, not the real address which will be inside the frame. _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington.

Try this, it should work and should also change the title bar to match that of the current page in the frame.

In the index.html file of the domain that is to be redirected insert the following code.

<html>

<head>

<title>Same Title As Your Homepage</title><!-->incase they have javascript turned off<!-->

<script type="text/javascript"><!-->changes title bar to match title on current page in frame<!-->
function changeTitle()
   {
   if (top.frames['main'].document.title)
      {
      top.document.title=top.frames['main'].document.title;
      }
   }
</script>
</head>


<frameset>
<frame name="main" src="http://actual-url.anotherhost.com/page.html"scrolling="auto" target="main" ONLOAD="changeTitle();"><!-->You need the onload handler to make the javascript work<!-->

<noframes>

<body>
Place a suitable message here for people with browsers that can't read frames.
</body>

</noframes>

</frameset>

</html>

Changing the frame src to that of the starting page of the site that is being redirected to.
