Hello All,

I have make a reffer check in a .cgi file it works fine i the same window but:

If i click on a link, which opens a new window with javascript, netscape will set the http_reffer but explorer don't set the http_reffer. I though both (ns and ie) will not set the http_reffer but somehow netscape did ? Well i also want IE to set the http_reffer like NS (even when it's opening a new window).

Part of the code is:

if ($ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}) {
foreach (@your_server) {
if ($ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} =~ /$_/i) {
$good_ref=1;
}
}
}
else { $good_ref=0; }

unless ($good_ref) {
etc.....

Function i use to open a new window is:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function openprint(naam,scrwidth,scrheight){
startDate= new Date();
tmpWin = window.open(naam, startDate.getTime(), "toolbar=yes,location=no,resizable=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,width=" + scrwidth + ",height=" + scrheight);
}
</script>

The call is:
<a href="JavaScript:openprint('../cgi-bin/print.cgi?g=/article/<%ID%>.html&t=tempprint&d=1',620,400)" onmouseover="status ='Print version'; return true">

What must i do so IE will also set http_reffer ? Or isn't it possible because i opened a new window, if so why is netscape working?

Doh strange problem....

Regards STartpoint.

Why not just use TARGET="_blank"?

Well in netscape it will open a whole overleaping browser. And i want a part overleaping it :)..

But this is not the problem i quess...

Check the javascript sites.

They have long tirades on the differences between NN and MSIE. And all the different versions.

BTW... last time I checked, one awesome page was the MOMA.org site.

The page is not very impressive, until you look at the source <G>

It makes a great point.
