ASP how to make the page not remembered in address bar?

Hi there, I just wanna know if....How others make their web pages not to be remembered in the address bar? Just like if you're using a computer from another location and your accessing a secure page....and when you closed your browser, the url of the page won't be listed in the address bar. Anybody knows how to do that? Tnx in Advance.

That is a browser setting and there is no way in ASP to hide your URL from the history.

Like Drew just said, it's impossible to do. If you want security, protect each page by creating sessions based on id/password.

Hi,

You are talking about a client side function of the browser software.
ASP, and in fact all server side languages can effect no change in client side behaviours, and hence, you are a little stuck.

It may be possible using a client side scripting language, but most likely ONLY for internet explorer, and only by use of an .htc behavior file.

Dont ask me how you would write the .htc , but there's your answer.
