Yes, it's probably possible using javascript. Not sure how, but i bet it can be done.

If you are using Apache and have mod_rewrite on than you could do that easily with mod_rewrite function...

Yes, i've been searching around and got many "you can use mod_rewrite" to do this.
I just wanna know how.
An url to a howto or an example would be nice.

Thanks.

I'd suggest to use the Apache module mod_rewrite for this purpose.

Example

You want your forums to be accessibyle as forumxx.html instead of forumdisplay.php?f=xx

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule forum([0-9]+).html forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [QSA]
