netscape problem

steam · Apr 2, 2001

Hello

------perl code--------
$ref="$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}";
print qq(
document.write('hello:$ref');
-----------------------
called with:

<script language="JavaScript" src="any.cgi"></script>

It works with IE but Netscape prints only
-------
hello:
-------
It does not send the referer!

Ideas?

It could be because of the language="JavaScript" statement...since it isn't javascript. I'm not really sure.
Here's the code to do the same thing with javascript, that's about all the help I can be:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
ref = document.referrer
document.write(&quot;hello:&quot; + ref)
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
