Logging in and hiding page addresses

I am using a javascript code to have my g/f log into her own page on my
website where she can download her homework. Problem is, once she logs in
the page address is displayed in the internet explorer address bar and so
anyone who is behind her can see the name of the page in the address bar and
therefore type it in directly and bypass the password protection. Is there a
way to make the address bad NOT show the current page location other than
just the main website index location, in my case, www.jspafford.com (without
listing the name of the current page being browsed after the /)

Thanks
 
If the page is password protected - would this not *protect the page* ??
The logon script should check that the user is logged in first by using a
session cookie or similar; if the cookie is not present, the browser
redirects to the login page and will *not* let you in until you log on.
 
This is perhaps an unacceptable but simple solution
for when your girlfriend is accessing her specific web
page while in public. No coding is necessary.

In IE, Choose Views > Toolbars > turn off Address bar
before she logs on to her personal page

When she wants the address bar back on as part of her
IE display, she can return to IE Views > Toolbars
and re-enable Address bar.
