referrer in EI6 and Netscape 7 & Jscript

[4notrump]

Hi:
When I use document.referrer, I get different results if I'm running either browser.

Netscape gives the previous page and IE returns a blank.

I'm trying to block access a page by making users go through a password page.

Any work arounds?

TQ

Don't use HTTP referrer for that purpose, client or server-side. This method is limited, not reliable and can be hacked. Better use cookies/server-side or integrated web server authentication.
