How do i hide querystring in the URL ?

Hi,
I am doing some master/detail pages.
However, in detail pages, the querystring will be append to the URL.
My requirement is, not to show the querystring in the URL as the querystring holds some sensitive information.

How can solve this problem?

Thanks

Yeah frames!
wait, why do you say its evil ? :ehh:

I probably can put a frame at the bottom of the page and "hide" it. My concern is, when i click a link in the master page, will the focus change to the frame ? I dont want my web page to be jumping around.

Thanks.

I would stay away from frames. They are messy and are slowly not being supported by browsers any longer. Firefox (atleast for me) generally has issues with pages that are framed based.

I recommend storing your data in a Session/Cookie or using hidden form fields to track information from page to page.

The web application im developing will only run on M$ Internet Explorer.So no issue there.

Yes, i wanted to do session. The problem is, i need to pass the value from an Activex control (.ocx) to somewhere, eg, session, querystrings. I have no idea on how to do that.

Do u have follow up suggestions?

I'm not sure about this.
You see, i have a COM object(.ocx) in ASP.NET web application.When the button in the ActiveX control is clicked, I need to get the value out into ASP.NET controls so that i can proceed on with the rest of the logic..

I hate when i dont know what to search in google. do you have suggestion to my problem ?

I don't know all the detail anymore but if your ocx is made by you you can tell it to access the context. From the context it will have request, Server and Session.

COMSVCLib.ObjectContext

o = GetObjectContext

o("Session")........

Just like Daneil suggested that u can use POST Method instead of a GET method.

To make ur form POST data u just need to change/add am attribute to the Form tag in ur HTML

Code:

---

<Form Method=POST runat=server>

---

The so posted data can be retrieved by using:

Code:

---

dim strName as string
strName = Request.Form("txtName")
