How can I keep the same url in the address bar for every page?

I am using a query string to pass information to a page but do not want the string to appear in the browser address bar.

www.mysite.co.uk?lp=catlist

is loaded but I just want the address bar to show

www.mysite.co.uk

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks

Use POST variables instead. This way no data will appear in address bar.

You can't bookmark a resource that's only accessible by POST – GordonM Jan 29 '13 at 09:09
