javascript_howto thread: How to get the HTTP_REFERRER value in a hidden field


Message #1 by cw.inf@c... on Thu, 16 Aug 2001 07:56:54
I have made a Rate this website page. The window is opened via a java-
script (see code below). In the new window I want to get the page the user 
was looking at when the link was activated - via the HTTP_REFERRER.

My problem is that the HTTP_REFERRER doesnt work when opening the window 
via the java-script. 

Do you know WHY?

I have found this in another group
In your doGet or doPost method you get HttpServletRequest, call
String ref =  req.getHeader("HTTP_REFERRER");

However, as I am a very beginner to ASP and know nothing about java-script 
(besedes copy/paste) I still am lost ...

Please notice: I am programming ASP pages, where I have inserted the "open 
small window" java-script. And the code must work in all > 4 browsers.

Can you help 

CODE
----------------------

'This is a button opening a the "java script" window 
popup_ratewebsite_text.asp

<input type="button" value="Testing Tips"
onClick="window.open 
('popup_ratewebsite_text.asp','mywindow','width=300,height=200,left=200,top
=200,screenX=100,screenY=100')" name="button">

In the popup_ratewebsite_text.asp
