http referer

[exxos]

Hi all,

I'm trying to list to a html page where the referer is, There are a lot of
ways ive tried and work, but the problem if my mainpage uses frames, and no
matter where I do the referer check it just reports the website url, does
anyone know a cure or workaround other than trashing the frames ?

Cheers,
chris

Then that really is the referer.
Frames are evil, trash them anyway.

Cann't you get the referrer on the main frameset page?

I managed to get in in the frameset, though im trying to match the referer
to itself to see if this works...


if (document.referrer&&document.referrer!=document.referrer)
alert('Found');


might be setout wrong ? though the referer will always match itself (I
assume) so it should flag up the alter box.. but dont do a thing.... if I
flag up a alert for the referer thats correct...... *lost* ?!

No it does not!!

(document.referrer&&document.referrer!=document.referrer)

pseudocode:

if "document.referrer" is not true then NO alert

"document.referrer!=document.referrer" this is never true, so always false

if "document.referrer" is true then
if false then again NO alert()

Conclusion: alert() never fires at all.
