[Guest_imported]

the image i want to appear works no problem from the first document referrer, but not the second one... any ideas?


if (document.referrer == "

http://www.bid4assets.com/community/communityhome.cfm")

{

document.write(&quot;<a href='

http://www.bid4assets.com/community/communityhome.cfm'><img

src='backto.gif'></a>&quot;




} // End--><SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>



if (document.referrer == &quot;

http://bid4assets.yellowbrix.com/pa...gory=business and finance:bankruptcy&type=ban

&quot {

document.write(&quot;<

http://bid4assets.yellowbrix.com/pa...gory=business and finance:bankruptcy&type=ban

'><img src='backto.gif'></a>&quot;




} // End --> </SCRIPT>

The script should be like this:

if (document.referrer == &quot;

http://bid4assets.yellowbrix.com/pa...gory=business and finance:bankruptcy&type=ban

&quot {

document.write(&quot;<a href='

http://bid4assets.yellowbrix.com/pa...gory=business and finance:bankruptcy&type=ban

'><img src='backto.gif'></a>&quot;

} // End --> </SCRIPT>

Give this a try!

i'm afraid that one didn't work either - like before, when i visit the page from the first referring document, the image loads, but not the second one... any other thoughts?

You can try:


document.open();
document.write(&quot;....&quot;
document.close();

This may allow you to open the document again to write to it.

Judging by what I read in the initial posting I think I spotted a couple of critical typos. So I came up with this revised version that I suggest that you try:

<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>

var DocRef = document.referrer;

var rGlbl = &quot;

http://www.bid4assets.com/community/communityhome.cfm&quot;;

var iGlbl = &quot;backto.gif&quot;;

var rLocl = &quot;

http://bid4assets.yellowbrix.com/pa...gory=business and finance:bankruptcy&type=ban

&quot;;

var iLocl = &quot;backto.gif&quot;;

// next line is commented out, but could be uncommented for debugging purposes
// alert( &quot;DocRef=[&quot;+DocRef+&quot;],\rrGlbl=[&quot;+rGlbl+&quot;],\riGlbl=[&quot;+iGlbl+&quot;],\rrLocl=[&quot;+rLocl+&quot;],\riLocl=[&quot;+iLocl+&quot;].&quot; );


if ( DocRef == rGLbl )
{
document.write(&quot;<a href='&quot; + rGlbl + &quot;'><img src='&quot; + iGlbl + &quot;'></a>&quot;

}
else if ( DocRef == rLocl )
{
document.write(&quot;<a href='&quot; + rLocl + &quot;'><img src='&quot; + iLocl + &quot;'></a>&quot;
}
// End --> </SCRIPT>

Hope this helps,

Here is a quick follow-on to my previous reply.

The line that begins [var rGlbl =] ends with two semicolons [.cfm&quot;;;] where instead it should end with the usual one [.cfm&quot;;].

I spotted the ;; typo while reviewing my response in the preview window before submitting it.

But, it didn't show up when I went back to edit it.

So, I submitted anyways. Then, when I read the thread again - just in case - there it was. Strange.

i'm afraid none of these suggestions have done the trick - i appreciate the efforts though...

Suggestion:

Remove the comment from the alert line in my sample and run the web page executing it one more time to see if the DocREf value (stuff between the [] next to DocRef=, <g>) is _EXACTLY_ the same as the value for rLocl.

Why? Because the stuff after the question mark in rLocl url may not be included in the DocRef, it is query string text not stricly part of a url ... it varies you see <g>.
