Web Hosting Forum

Hello there, I'm not sure is this is the correct forum, so apologies is it's not.

Anyway my question, I host my website on the freespace that my ISP provides, I use UKReg for my domain registration.

When I view my websites the status bar at the bottom of my browser show the item loading, this shows the full path name of the images etc, I would prefer it to show the domain name. Sorry I'm not explaining this very well.

I want it to show http://www.mydomain.com/image.jpg

Instead it shows http://freespace.isp.com/content/images/image.jpg.

Can I fix this?

TIA

Without regular hosting that your domain is located "AT" the server I don't believe you can do this.

There may be some coding to do it, but I don't think so.

Well, it's just cosmetic, but if you add the following to your pages head --

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
 function load() 
 { window.status"http://mydomain.com/image.jpg" }
 </script>

And in the body tag --

Code:

<body onload="load()">

you'll get what you want in the status bar. Of course the "http://freespace.isp.com/content/images/image.jpg" address will still appear in the address bar.

URL Masking will hide it in the address bar. I needed to do that as I was redirecting a domain. Also wanted to change the bottom as well and JUST found my answer for that by reading this thread!

Oops! Just realized you were linking directly to an image. That Status Bar code will only work with an HTML page. You could create a simple page for each image, but if you've got a lot of them that's a lot of work.
