I was wondering, say you have multiple domain names that lead to the same IP and on the main navigational index page of a hypothetical server, you have links to other content in that particular index like ~

<li><a href="http://Thisdomain.com">content</a></li>

Now lets say we have another domain name to our server like "Thatdomain.com".

Hypothetically speaking, lets say we traveled into the midst of "Thisdomain.com" using the domain "Thatdomain.com".

Something funny happens.

By my knowledge for some radical, inexplicable reason, you stop seeing the directory's into which you're currently traversing and only "Thatdomain.com", unlike when visiting said server from "Thisdomain.com", disallowing a visitor from seeing the full address of the current position they're in on the server.

In example, say we visit "AutoItScript.com" via "AutoItScript.tk", you'll see exactly what I'm talking about and witness the astronomical event yourself in full detail.

As for me, I'm just wondering how I can put a stop to said black magic...

Basic point of this post

I was wondering of how I might be able to refer to content using the domain used to fetch a page from the particular said server, Iike a variable that stores the domain used.

<li><a href="$Var???">content</a></li>

view-source:http://autoitscript.tk/

<html>
  <head>
    <title>AutoIt - AutoItScript</title>
    <meta name="description" content="AutoIt - AutoItScript">
    <meta name="keywords" content="autoitscript.tk">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var _gaq = _gaq || [];
        _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-23441223-3']);
        _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'none']);
        _gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
        _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
        (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
            ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
            var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
        })();
    </script>
  </head>
  <frameset rows="*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="NO">
    <frame src="http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/" name="dot_tk_frame_content" scrolling="auto" noresize>
  </frameset>
  <noframes>
    <body>
    </body>
  </noframes>
</html>

just use a javascript that checks current document parent.

If you connect the additional domain correctly with the server, then you will be able to see the complete domain and path in the addressbar and in the links.

The domain autoitscript.tk in your example is just a frame redirection which is only a poor replacement for a real connection with DNS-records.

But the domain that works is a tk domain, the one that doesn't is another that used to work before I started using .tk.

thats why I assume it must be the links that have to do something with it.

Its strange because one .tk domain does let me see paths, and another doesn't, that's what has me confused, and I came to the conclusion that it may be due to the way linking works on the site.

dot-tk domains can be used as simple frame redirections or you can create DNS-records.

Edit: DNS is better, but your webspace must support it, too. You have to tell the server which webspace will be associated with the new domain.

Yeah, I guess that's what happens, you can only choose one to work correctly.
