I am using a search engine that shows the results on its own server. To get there you need to be on my site and from there all the links go back to my site. I have seen JavaScript for hiding the actual URL in a web browser when launching a new window, but I haven't come across anything that I could use.

When you create the new window, would it be sufficient to just hide the box where the URL is entered? If so,
window.open("URL","WINDOWNAME","width=X,height=Y,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no,menubar=no,directories=no,toolbar=no") Make certain to change URL, WINDOWNAME, X, and Y. This function will also hide the other items at the top and bottom of the window. |

Hi, thanks for the reply,
but I would prefer have the location bar still open if possible. The people using my site are not overly familiar with computers and I would prefer to leave such things as removing location bars off my site for that reason. This is more of a curiosity thing for me rather than a must for my site. Wojtek |

I see what you are saying, but couldn't you make the search results window something that is used only by your site? For example, they get to your site, perform the search, a new window (smaller, with no toolbars/menus) opens with the results and when they click on one, the result shows in the original window.

I hadn't thought of that, I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

have you thought of puttting the pages that interact with the search engine in a framseset - your users wouldn't be able to clearly see the URL then

However, they would then be able to open the frame in a new window and see the URL. If he truly wants to hide the URL, he would need to disable the menus that allow that to happen. I don't think he wants to disable them for the whole site, though ...just for the search engine results.
