Hi All
I was wondering if it could be possible to prevent a user from making changing to a web url since allowing a user to do changes in a ur may result in errors:

Example if I have a url:
http://10.0.10.6/recordsmanagement/ViewRecords.aspx[^]

and it allows a user to do changes to the url example placing just some random characters,say ssss:

http://10.0.10.6/recordsmanagementsssss/ViewRecords.aspx[^]
this will result in an error

Thanks

Change URI where?! In address line of a browser? -- you have no control over that (oh, thanks goodness! :-). On HTML page? it is not allowed anyway. Somewhere else?
This question makes no sense unless you explain it.

You are perfectly right if as far as the title of this question is concerned (and the whole question is best classified as "making no sense"). However, this is just the vague idea of OP, who means something completely different -- please see the new comment to the question and my answer. This way, it does make some sense.

There is no such thing as preventing the user from "making changes" — this simply makes no sense; please see my comment to the question.

How you show you URIs is the different story. You have to show something. You don't have to show actual path though. Learn how to use URL re-writing and routing:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972974.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668201%28v=vs.100%29.aspx[^].

I hope this will be enough to do what you want.

Good luck,

You cannot make any changes to URL, unless you want to modify it.
