It's not a universal solution, but you could use JavaScript to hide the URL in the status bar. The user would still be able to view the source for the session ID.

Or you could make the anchor tag submit a form, and pass the session ID as a form parameter. Again, the user would be able to get the session ID by viewing the source.

I agree that hiding the session ID is good, but my reasons are purely aesthetic. Do you have other reasons? Are you trying to hide the session ID completely, so that there's no possible way for the user to view it? I suspect that's impossible if you have knowledgeable users.

I am creating an application using SAS/intrnet (for the first time) and I am using sessions. How can I use anchor tags in my programs without displaying the session id, etc in the URL? I know if I use forms I can use method=post. Is there a similiar way to do this with anchor tags? I really don't want to change all anchor tags to push buttons.

Thanks for your help!

Carol
