Could a page display diferrent content if the URL hash changes?
How could a page display different content based on the URL hash? I'm not talking about the browser scrolling down to display the anchored section, but something like JavaScript reacting to that hash and loading different content via AJAX. Is this common or even probable? ...
Is it always safe to remove a trailing slash from a URL?
I'm storing URLs in a database, and I want to be able to know if two URLs are identical. Generally, a trailing slash at the end doesn't change the response you'd get from a server. (ie. http://www.google.com/ is the same as http://www.google.com) Can I always blindly remove the trailing slash from any URL, without looking at anything? I...

Thanks, Cameron ...

Googlebot: Too many distinct URLs pointing to identical content
One section of our website presents a paged randomized content. The first time a new user visits the site, she is assigned a new random seed which passed in URL's and for persistence stored also in cookies.

Is it possible to get the current URL that an IFrame is set to if it's loading an outside page (say, Wikipedia)?

If it is impossible, is there an easier way to display a page inside another page and still h...

Hey, I am working on a project that involves a url "forwarder" (like bit.ly or tinyurl.com, but we don't really need it to be short).
