When I goto the above page with AOL 4.0 on Mac, I see the click me link. When I click on that, I get sent to a new browser with an empty referrer. Here's the resulting text:Referrer= From Netscape 4.72, I also get a new browser window but referrer is still set: Referrer=http://www.west21.com/page1.htmlTo get around this problem, you can build your href on page1.html like this:
click hereor pass some other get variable that you check for on page2.tpl like page2.tpl?from=page1.Keep in mind that if you pass get arguments on your home page, search engines may have more trouble indexing your site.Later,Dale -- Dale LaFountain mailto:dalel@darkhorse.com Vice President of Information Technology, Webmaster Dark Horse Comics, Inc.
