- Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") -

[JW]

Sorry, posting this twice as it tagged on to a spetember posting:
---------------------------------------------------------------

I use Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") to get the URL of the referrer
page.

However, if the page that has Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") is in
a popup window then the value is blank!!

Can anone assist as to how to solve this problem.

The requesting page is at http://www.theexperts.co.uk/error.htm

The ASP code is:

<%
TheirURL = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")

sVar = TheirURL

aVar = Split(sVar, "/")

sDomain = aVar(2)

If Lcase(Left(sDomain, 4)) = "www." Then
sDomain = Right(sDomain, Len(sDomain) - 4)
End If

Response.Write sDomain
%>

Thanks

Jon

If you're creating your own popup window, pass the referer in the
querystring.
