Help with simple html please - i need an expert

[Alpha]

I want to display the current url of the page on the webpage, is there a command to do this in html?

i did find a javascript to do it, it worked in ie, but not firefox?

help anyone please?

best way would be with PHP.

<?$hostname = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?>
<?echo $hostname?>

Just put that in your page and rename it mypage.php

Or if you still want it to be mypage.html then put this in your .htaccess file

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
Options +FollowSymlinks

That will make html files parse as php files.

In ASP this would be :
Response.write( "http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") & Request.ServerVariables("URL") ) & "?" & Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") ) %>

thanks.

what if I am url forwarding the domain using frames, (the browser still shows the originally typed domain name, but in fact you are on a different page)

.. is it possible to display the url i originally keyed ?

I know a tricky way to do it in HTML: you need to create a frame of 1 pixel high at the top of your page and display your content in a second frame, which would take the rest of the screen. I hope it helps !

make the frame redirect to www.newdomain.com/?domainname=original.co.uk

then <? echo "$domainname"; ?> in PHP.
