Is curr page the last in history array? 2

[contiw]

Need to know if the current page is the last in the history array. Theoretically "history[history.length-1] == window.location.href" should do it but
history[...],
history.current,
history.previous,
history.next,
return "undefined". Working with IE 6.0.
Is it a security problem? Scant references in the Internet.
What else can be done?

Thanks for helping.

the history object does not store strings. the actual url for a history item is not accessible from js.

I was at a site recently and it told me that I got there by coming from Google. She was right. (

That information is in HTTP headers sent to the Server by the User Agent (Browser). You need server side code to obtain it.

RichS and palbano,

document.referrer will tell you what page you came from (if any)
