Apache2: ReWrite rule not showing up in address bar?

Question

I have a domain, example.com.

Here is my apache2 ReWrite rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?uname=$1 [L]

When I go to http://example.com/Eamorr, http://example.com/Eamorr appears in the address bar of my browser.

I want http://www.example.com/index.php?uname=Eamorr to appear in the address bar! (my javascript needs to parse the GET arguments)

Is this possible?

Many thanks in advance,

Add a redirect to that RewriteRule. Change [L] to [R,L].

That'll start a redirect loop, though. You'll likely want to change it to not match index.php.
