Domain name isn't pointing correctly?

Hi Chris, I hope you're still around to answer another I question I have pertaining to this old post. Well, two questions to be precise.

Question 1:

I decided to add a splash page to my gallery. While it drastically improves the feel of the site, I've run unto a problem now that I've added the extra page.

As it was before with just my index.php page and an Addon Domain setup, when someone visited www.domain2.com, the URL displayed in the address bar was still www.domain2.com (which is retrieving data from www.domain1.com/gallery).

Now, I have two pages: index.php (splash page) and main.php (flash gallery). At the splash screen, the address bar displays: www.domain2.com. However, once you click the Enter button (which takes you to main.php), it displays the actual URL in the address bar (www.domain1.com/gallery/main.php).

What I'm wondering is if there's a way to make it so that www.domain2.com will be displayed in the address bar when you're on either page? (both index.php and main.php)

Question 2:

Now that I have implemented a splash page, I have a problem with the links being displayed in the status bar of the browser.

Since the content on www.domain2.com is being retrieved from www.domain1.com/gallery, the Enter button is linked to www.domain1.com/gallery/main.php, and not www.domain2.com/main.php as I would greatly prefer it to look if possible.

So when I mouseover the Enter button, it displays the link to www.domain1.com/gallery/main.php. Is there any way to either mask this, or disable it completely? I've looked up several "hide status bar text" scripts, and while they seem to work okay in IE, they fail to accommodate in Firefox (which I believe the majority of my viewership uses).

Any assistance with these questions would be greatly appreciated

Only by using frames which will defeat the whole object of the exercise in the first place.
