Help with document.referrer

[mrDrive]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out where the user has navigated from. I have a popup window with a link. When the user clicks on the link the popup window closes and the parent window navigates to url.html:

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;opener.location.href='url.html'; window.close(); return false;&quot;>Click Me!</a>

Then in 'url.html', I want to print a link if the user came from the popup window. If they didn't come from the popup window link then it would print nothing:

if(document.referrer==&quot;

http://www.mydomain.net/url.html&quot;)

{
document.write('<p><a href=&quot;url1.html>Go back to here</a></p>');
} else {}

Does anyone know a way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

From

http://www.javascript-page.com/referrer.html

:

<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>
<!-- 
// please keep these lines on when you copy the source
// made by: Nicolas - [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.javascript-page.com[/URL]

if (document.referrer&&document.referrer!=&quot;&quot;)
  document.write('Thanks for visiting this site from '+document.referrer+'<BR>');

//-->
</script>

Modifying this slightly:

<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>
<!-- 
// please keep these lines on when you copy the source
// made by: Nicolas - [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.javascript-page.com[/URL]

if (document.referrer&&document.referrer!=&quot;&quot;)
  if(document.referrer != '[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mydomain.net/url.html'){[/URL]
    //Print Nothing
  }
  document.write('<p><a href=&quot;url1.html&quot;>Go back to here</a></p>');
}

//-->
</script>

Hope this helps.
