Domain Registrar URL Redirect Question


My domain name registrar (JumpDomain) has a url redirection feature that forwards my domain name to my web site that is hosted on a free provider. The problem is that my two choices are to use a "frame" version that keeps my domain name in the address bar no matter what page of the site you are on or a "standard" redirect that simply forwards to my rather long free hosting address. My question is how do I have my domain name in the address bar and also show the page file name.

Example:
Instead of showing www.mysite.com in the address bar all the time

Show www.mysite.com or whatever page is being viewed.

I get the feeling this is a difficult one because the frame is there to prevent people seeing the actual domain where it is actually hosted.

http://www.mysite.com/page1.html doesn't actually exist so you are left with a situation where you have no decent options.

However, you could find a free host that accepts people that already have domains and point your DNS settings to them rather than using the rather lacking forwarding system.

At the end of the day it is up to you though, but the latter is the most effective for what you actually want to happen.

You can insert this code inside of the head section for http://www.mysite.com/page1.html

HTML Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- if (parent.frames.length > 0) { parent.location.href = self.document.location } --> </script>

I didn't test this yet so it might not work..
