[Pro] Reassigning Navbar URL

This should be doable, I am pretty sure.

I have a site, defined wholly in a FWP document. It has several second tier pages, each with a specific topic. As it happens, I have registered domain names for each of those topics. In a normal installation, I would simply have a separate FWP document and website for each of these sections, and have them link to one another as I needed.

But in this case, for a couple reasons, I would like to have them all be managed within one document. It is easy enough to point the DNS for the specialty domains to pages deeper within the site, so that a call to <www.special1.com> goes to <www.company.com/special1.html>.

What I would like to do is have the page replace the identifier in the navbar as if it were a separate site. So instead of <www.company.com/special1.html>, it would show <www.special1.com> and all of its subpages to similarly reflect the change.

You can see what I mean roughly at <>

In that index page, you can go to <www.sirius-beta.com/topoiesis.html>. When you do, I want the navbar to indicate <www.topoeisis.com>

Thank you in advance.

I’ve done some research on this. The answer is that it is possible from the Apache side, and apparently often done.

It is not possible to change the Addressbar URL via html or JS.

I’ve seen things like this reassigning the location.search or the
location.hash, but not (reliably, cross-platform, cross-browser)
reassigning the entire location.href. It works well on IE, but only
because security is not at the top of that browser’s list of things to
worry about.
