Hi I used this and return be nothing.. in the alert basically blank.
I have a page 1.htm after clicking a button it takes me to 2.htm and the code for 2.htm is as follows
<html>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="submit" onclick="javascript:alert(document.referrer);" >
</form>
</body>
</html>
Do u find any mistake?

i don't believe it will work locally. you'll need to load it onto a server. also, different browsers may not provide a value for the referrer, as this is considered a security/privacy risk by some software developers.

best way i guess would be to store the page url in a session variable and then reference it in the following page. you can do this using pretty much any server-side script, such as coldfusion, asp, php...
