Losing data?

[hermes1]

I am coming across a strange problem where i lose some referrer type data if a page is called with window.open() as opposed to just calling it as a link. Is there anything i can do to not lose this.


Probably a problem with this function
escape(document.referrer)

Thank You

Where / why are you executing "escape(document.referrer)"?

When using window.open, refer to the "parent" with document.opener (instead of referrer).

'hope that helps.

Not sure if document.refeffer has a value as far as popups are concerned. Try parent.location

Ok i replaced "referrer" with "opener" but it still didn't work, maybe it would be easier if i just put the code up here it is a counter script BTW.


<script language="Javascript"><!--
aw=window; aatd=aw.top.document; aasd=aw.self.document; aajs="1.0"; aan=navigator;
aar=escape(aasd.referrer); aap=escape(aw.self.location.href); aasd.cookie="ac=1";
aac=2; if(aasd.cookie) aac=1; aaf=2; if(self!=top) aaf=1;
if(aaf==1) {aafr=escape(aw.top.location.href);if(aafr==aar) aar=escape(aatd.referrer)}
else aafr=""; aant=2; if(aan.appName.substring(0,2)=="Mi") aant=1;
aad=new Date(); aalt=aad.getTimezoneOffset();
//--></script>
<script language="Javascript1.1"><!--
aajs="1.1";aaj=2;if(aan.javaEnabled()) aaj=1;
//--></script>
<script language="Javascript1.2"><!--
aajs="1.2";aas=screen;if(aant==1) aacol=aas.colorDepth; else aacol=aas.pixelDepth;
aaw=aas.width;aah=aas.height;
//--></script>
<script language="Javascript1.3"><!--
aajs="1.3";
//--></script>
<script language="Javascript"><!--
aa="<img border=0 alt='ActualAnalyzer' src='

http://67.18.154.66/~cookpor/analyze/aa.php";

aa+="?anr=" + escape(document.referrer) + "&anp="+aap + "&anf="+aaf + "&anfr="+aafr + "&anjs="+aajs + "&anc="+aac + "&anj="+aaj;
aa+="&ancol="+aacol + "&anwt="+aaw + "&anh="+aah + "&anlt="+aalt + "'>"; aasd.write(aa);
//--></script>

Rather than wade through that lot I just added the below code to a popup. As I suspected, document.referrer is blank (Mozilla and IE) but parent.location works.

alert( "document.referrer = " + document.referrer + "\n\nparent.location = " + parent.location );

HTH.

I tried to replace document.referrer with parent.location and i am still not getting any data? I don't know what i am missing here.

I know you tried 'opener' already, but try it again WITHOUT the 'document' in front of it (i.e., just opener by itself). Failing that, try 'window.opener'.
