Stealth Forwarding works, but then breaks...
4/18/2015 13:50
I recently set up stealth forwarding to a domain name I have registered here.  It works as it shows the domain name vs. the web site that is hosting the site its being redirected to.  Problem is, at some point it breaks out of the frame and shows the hosting web site name instead of the original domain name.  What follows is some technical content to help whoever can help out.

On the Index page I have something like this for a link, one of many:

<a href="./faq.htm"><img alt="" src="./Img/msfaq.png" border="0" height="100" width="155" vspace="5" />

This works from the Index page.  It takes you to the faq.htm page and still shows the domain name.  On that page I have the following:

<iframe src="./menu.htm" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" style="border-style: none; width: 800px; height: 200px"></iframe>

That loads a smaller version of the same menu at the top of the page.  One of a number of links in that document exist like this:

<a href="./au.htm" target="_top"><img alt="" src="./Img/msau.png" border="0" height="63" width="96" vspace="5" /></a>

As soon as I click it I move to another page, but the domain name is suddenly showing the host site domain name.  We don't want our visitors to see that.  I have tried different variations (../ for the href, or a different target reference like _parent).

I suspect it's because of the iframe I have, which might cause the problem with the frame set up for stealth forwarding.  How do I alleviate this?  The menu.htm document is a menu set which is visible on all pages after the main index.htm page and has been that way since the site was put together about six years ago.  It is only recently through registering a shorter domain name that I made the decision to use a different host, and therefor the option to stealth forward.
