Maintain referrer of Redirect page

Andyfives · Oct 6, 2003

Hi, Please help, I'm sure this is simple:- there must be an easier way, but I want users to go to an html page that redirects to a cgi process. The reason for this is to use the html page as the redirect source.

The html has the following code segment,

<script>
function redirect() {

document.location = "

http://www.blar.com/cgi-bin/andy.cgi";

";
}
</script>

</head>
<body onLoad="javascript:redirect();">

Is there a way that once redirected I can maintain the reference to this page thru the referrer property.

Thanks

Through referrer, not that I know of. Sorry.

You could drop the URL into a hidden form field or something.

Ok, I may try a different approach and try out a couple of other ideas. Thanks for your help.

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#FF0000" VLINK="#800000" ALINK="#FF00FF" BACKGROUND="?">
