I was wondering if there is a way to redirect a url other then the old traditional way of creating a sub folder and an index page with a redirect. Basically I want to do something like this:

www.mysite.com/123 and have it redirect to something else like www.mysite.com/987349872345324 but I do not want to have to create a sub folder with an index page that handles the redirect.

Any help would be great.

P.S. I would love to do it without using variables like www.mysite.com/?var=123

Thanks in advance.

One possible solution would be to implement some form of Url rewriting http://www.iis.net/download/urlrewrite is a tool provided by microsoft for doing exactly this.

This JavaScript programming tutorial is designed to show the steps required to split and modify URLs using JavaScript. This has multiple uses in creating javascript split test pages, or just providing a facility to split traffic with JavaScript. The process is as follows:

Get current URL
Split the URL
Create a new URL
Redirect the Browser

The new URL that will be created here is just a redirect to a Google query. However, it could be any kind of inline or redirect code. For example, a part of the HTML could contain an HTML div that is designed to be populated with YouTube videos that relate to the subject matter of the URL. Other uses include querying Amazon.com for products relating to a specific topic, to generate revenue for the site owner.
