In my website I have a frame in which I display content
from different html files on the server. The files are
activated from buttons in the primary display, using
links.
Question: I would like to hide the names of the sources
of the different html files on the server, as the come up
on the display, form the viewer.
How do I do that?
Thank you.
Adrian.

It's an exercise in futility. The browser must know the URL to load the
file. Therefore, that information must be available locally. No matter
what measures you take, the user can still determine the URL.
Only way to do this in a foolproof fashion is to never upload the files to
a server. Or you can never link to the files from any page, but they are
still potentially discoverable.

Do you mean you want to hide the status bar link information, or do you
want to make the source unreadable?
Neither is possible to achieve in a bulletproof fashion. The first can
be done with Javascript status bar blanking - but I can turn Javascript
off, or stop it altering my status bar text. The second can be done
through encoding, again with Javascript, again unreliable.

use a cgi program to read and send the files? Of course, you may then
need to hide the parameters to the cgi program ...
