How do I restrict access based on referring domain? 1

[hazelnut]

I need to restrict access to a website so that users can only come from a specific domain (e.g.

http://www.company.com).

I figured out how to restrict users coming from a specific URL (e.g.

http://www.company.com/page.htm)

but not at the domain level. Also once users are in my website, I need to allow them to move around freely as well and not have them restricted because they are no longer coming from the domain mentioned above.

Thanks a lot!

you can use document.referrer or soemthing like that and parse the string out so you only grab the domain by splitting on the slash:

thereferringdomain=document.referrer.split["/"][0] jared@aauser.com -

I have been trying this - but my referrer property is always empty - even when I linked to my test page - is this something to do with local testing, like when the url starts "file"? Otherwise no trubs. Got any clues? bj

oops, that should be:

thereferringdomain=document.referrer.split("//&quot[1].split("/&quot[0]


got my domain for my test jared@aauser.com -
