Re: Browser frames and URLs in the Location field
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004
It keeps the original formatting.

interpreted = N
texte = If it's most important that the URI of the content frame not be revealed, frames would not be a good option as all a visitor would have to do is select to open a frame in a new window. May or may not be likely to happen depending on the experience of the visitor, but maintaining the anonymity of the content frame will be pretty low. There might be an issue with spiders and bots indexing the site as well I would imagine. Sorry, no suggestions off the top of my head for a better way of accomplishing this.
