It is just more a curious question on my part. I have a page with a form to perform a find. After the submit button is selected a page comes up with the resulting records. The address in the browser at this point shows as:

http://[email protected]/FMPro

All the records that matched the find have links. at this point choosing any one of the links goes to a detail page for that record. When this is done the URL in the browser is now quite a bit more detailed...as would be expected:

http://63.xxx.xxx.xxx/FMPro?-db=files.fp5&-format=notes.htm&-lay=notes&-sortfield=company&-sortfield=project&Active=Yes&submitButtonName=Submit&-max=all&-recid=33188&-find=

Thats a lot of detail. If a user wanted to they could play with the url, say change around the recid #, thus getting to other records. Is this just the nature of the beast? Is it possible to have it so that when any of the links are clicked on the detail record that is displayed wont show all the detail in the address window?

Larry,

A couple of ways exist for avoiding the URL appearing in the browser:

1. Use frames. The details page can appear in a frame adjacent to the listing; the URL will not show.

2. Use Javascript. The RecordID can be passed to a Javascript function which inserts it into a form which is then submitted by the same function.

All the best.
