It's a browser issue. The docs were written several years ago when most browsers did not send a referrer value when method=post was used. But now most of them send this value when method=post is used, thus the reason why it seems to work for you. Just beware, if someone uses an old browser (or even a new one) that does not send this value when method=post is used, your webdna code will not receive it. -- Sincerely, Kenneth Grome ------------------------------------------------------------- Outsource your WebDNA programming for $18 an hour or less! ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
