Need page referrer info transfering to result form page?

Happy100 · Dec 20, 2004

Hi

I am using this little piece of code (see below) to pass on the location and referrer page details to me in a email. But I would like these details to also show in the html confirmation page.

Can anyone advise me what code I would need to place in this confirmation page?

What do you want the fields to look like? Are the referrer and location supposed to be in hidden fields? Something like:

Code:

function writeHiddens()
{
  var loc = document.location.href;
  var ref = document.referrer;
  document.write("<input type=hidden name=location value='" + loc + "'>");
  document.write("<input type=hidden name=referrer value='" + ref + "'>"); 
}
// ...
<form method="post" action="page.php">
 <script type="text/javascript">writeHiddens();</script>
</form>

Hi chessbot

I would like the field results to be visible, so the visitor can print the confirmation page and have the original link on paper.

I know very little about Javascript, so would it be possible you can advise how and where I use the code you have given me?

Many thanks

Happy.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="javascript">
function writeInfo()
{
  document.writeln("You came from " + document.referrer);
  document.writeln("You are at " + location.href);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 
<script type="text/javascript"> writeInfo(); </script>

Hi again Chessbot

I inserted the code where you said, but I get nothing showing on the form confirmation web site?

Please see -

and follow the link, at will go to the form and them hit submit and that will give the confirmation page where I would like the referrer/location to show.

Many thanks

Happy.
