I have a JSP page that intially displays in the address bar the JSP file name, and parameters.
After displaying the page I want to be able to hide the paramaeteres or clear the address bar.
Can I do this in JSP, or javascript?
I'm trying to prevent users from sending the URL by email to others.

JSP, being a server-side technology, cannot affect the browser controls.
I do not believe that there is a Javascript solution (at least not a standard one), but I'll send this off to the HTML/Javascript forum in case someone knows of a trick that can help you.

You can not hide anything in the address bar.
There is a way to use frames to do it, but you would still have that initial link with the parameters in it. Any smart person would know how to get that link out of the frames anyway.
If you really want security, I would rethink it on the server side and avoid using client side technology.
