need help with document.referrer.indexof

[acrinsd]

I am attempting to build some logic based on the referring information containing a particula domain name. This is easy enough when I am only looking for one domain, but I have been asked to include multiple domains that may be a match. Once I attempt to use more than one domain, the whole things falls apart. In these examples, if I use "abc" to test, it works correctly and placeHolder is set to One. If I change it to "def" or any other string, I get "None" as the value.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Sample of the code I am using:

<script language="javascript">
var myRef=new Array("abc","def","ghi","jkl","mno","pqr","stu","vwx","yzz");
</script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
if(document.referer.indexOf(myRef) != -1){
    placeHolder = "One";
} else {
    placeHolder = "None";
}
</SCRIPT>

I have also tried using something like this in the indexof, but it doesn't work either.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
if(document.referrer.indexOf("abc"||"def"||"ghi"||"jkl"||"mno"||"pqr"||"stu"||"vwx"||"yzz") != -1){
    placeHolder = "One";
} else {
    placeHolder = "None";
}
</SCRIPT>

1. Your first code is sing referer with a single R, while the actual property is spelled with 2 refe[red]rr[/red]er as you types in your post title.

2. I don't believe the indexOf function works off of arrays as the parameter. Only a single string.


I guess you could always loop through the array and test each individual value, if you get a hit then you can break the loop then.

for(var x in myRef){
if(document.referrer.indexOf(myRef[x]) != -1){
    var placeHolder = "One";
break;
} else {
    var placeHolder = "None";
}
}
