Copying and pasting hyperlinks. Help.

I noticed on some websites that even when you copy and past the address, it wont take you directly to the page you were viewing before. Is there a way to bypass this?

if the page in question is using sessions or cookies to redirect you then the only way to bypass it is by hijacking the session/cookie.

If you're using Internet Explorer, you can right-click on the page someplace and select "Properties". The resulting property page should show you the URL for the page.

I'm guessing this is not practical.

If you can provide any other details, perhaps we can be of more help.

They're POSTing the item number and an action verb with some Javascript on each page.

function ToDetails(itemNumber) {
	document.forms['productresults'].action.value="details";
	document.forms['productresults'].itemNumber.value=itemNumber;
	document.forms['productresults'].submit();
}

With a little spellunking, may you can create a direct link that works by posting all the data in the form instead. Or, maybe their site is only going to accept POSTs. If so, there's not much you can do about it aside from writing your own code to create a POSTed form with all the same data. Then, your links will be very large and require javascript.

What is that you're trying to do, in the end?

Depending on how that site is set up, you may be able to send the data for the page you want to visit as a GET.

EDIT: this is what mikeblas is talking about.

I was basicly just trying to make th links go directly to the product without the other products showing up.
