How to MASK the URL in the status bar?

Is there a way to "mask" the status url/link in the lower left portion of the browser?

At this time I have a hosting company with the main domain account www.myaccount.com

Every website I build and host goes under a subfolder something like www.myaccount.com/clientswebsite

As I browse clients sites the http address bar on the top of the browser shows www.clientswebsite.com/contact.php or www.clientswebsite.com/info.php HOWEVER in the lower left corner of the broweser, as I go from page to page
one can see www.myaccount.com/clientswebsite/contact.php or www.myaccount.com/clientswebsite/info.php.

Every CMS website I have running so far functions well, it is just this little thing I would like to take care of, if possible.

How do I mask this so either is show the correct url, generic message, or nothing?

Hmm.. That shouldn't happen. Look at your config.php file for the client's sites.. There should be no entries for myaccount.com in any URL fields (though maybe in file path fields). I'm assuming that each site has a separate CMS install. My personal site is in a sub-folder, and I don't see that.

When you click on the link, how does it show in the address bar? I can't see why it would show one way when you hover over the link, but show up differently when you click on it.

there was a line in the config.php file I had to edit (it think line 74).

Still, not sure why it happens on some installs eventhough I use the same hosting company and identical install procedure.

Thanks...
