RE: From where the browser takes the "Address"

The browser address is the last page connected to a web site.

There are a few times that this gets weird.

CGI posts don't change the address screen, so if I have a URL
http://www.fooseballsinc.com and my / page relates to a CGI scripts, I
might be navigating too many pages, but since it is through the CGI, I
don't see that on the browser page.

A lot few DNS Providers host HTTP forwarder services like described
above, so if the site was hosted off them, it would always look like the
site was http://babalala/ even if it was a different page inside.
