    I am trying use some nice and simple htaccess syntax to hide the dynamic URLs within my site.

    Clicking the links which use the new/SEO-Freindly URLs works fine and it take them to the right dynamically generated page, BUT the dynaic URL is being shown in the address bar, not the new/SEO-Friendly one.

    Here is my htaccess file code:

    
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

Redirect /post/new-seo-friendly-url/ /post.php?id=1
RewriteRule /post/new-seo-friendly-url/ /post.php?id=1
    Code (markup):
    So when I click on:

    It does take me to:

    Like I want, but I want to see:

    In the address bar, not:

    Could anyone provide me any assistance here?

    Thank you very much. :)
