Better let the real address of your site show, but include a message in the page content inviting to bookmark the preferred URL not the real one. Hiding the URL of a site with a frame doesn't give a good impression to many visitors. -- Stéphane Gourichon - Labo. d'Informatique de Paris 6 - AnimatLab http://animatlab.lip6.fr/ - philo du dimanche http://amphi-gouri.org/
