passing referring url to Pop Up Window

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

I want to show the refering page in a pop up window like this:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;> <!--
document.write( document.referrer );
-->
</script>

Then refering url doesn't seem to pass when I use a link like from the parent.

<a href=&quot;javascriptpenpopup()&quot;>Popup</a>

Any ideas? Thanks!

I think that your JS syntax is correct (though I don't see it - what you posted is just a part of something).

You should know the following about [tt]referrer[/tt]:
If the user clicked on a link to get to the current URL, referrer contains the URL the user linked from.
But, referrer is empty if you typed a URL in the address bar, or used some other means to get to the current URL. Also, referrer is empty if the server does not provide environment variable information.
