Without having to create a cookie....I would simply like to "grab" the referring web page of visitors to my site.
I am going to call this script from a small flash Action Script file but that doesn't really matter at this point.
If anyone can answer this simple question I'd appreciate it. I have done a search but could not get a direct answer within the first 4 pages.
I create eLearning materials which are given away as a communty service to help people improve their health. A typical eLearning project has a few educational screens (using a Learner Management System-LMS-template) and an interactive exercise (on an external web page-htm or html-usually accessed by button which navigates to the exercise's URL).
The interactive exercise should only be accessed from inside the eLearning lesson using the button, because it requires understanding of the way it works plus important cautions to assure proper use. I need to prevent the use of the URL outside of taking the lesson (for example, someone taking the lesson acquires the exercise's URL from their browser history and then may give this to others who access the exercise directly-without necessary knowledge and cautions).
I tried document.referrer, using JavaScript. Using the referrer URL from inside the lesson and adding the JavaScript to the exercise's htm code worked OK in FF, but not in IE 8. In FF, if the referrer was not the correct single URL from inside the lesson, then it redirected; if the correct URL, the exercise appears.
The JS code follows:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var oksite = "http://www.mysite.com/xyz/courseidxxxxx/yyyy/zzz.html";
[code]....
In IE 8, I was not able to get it to work. Using an alert, I noticed that the referrer in IE 8 was blank.My web hosting (GoDaddy) is a shared Windows hosting. I would have to upgrade from IIS6 to IIS7 to use PHP. Bigger challenge: I've never used PHP. If possible, I would prefer to use JS. But, I am open to any suggestion that will help.I am also wondering if part of the IE 8 issue is that I am using IE 8 X 64?
I am using a third party shopping cart service written in php. I don't have access to the php code so I decided to use javascript to write a cookie. What I'm trying to do is have the cookie capture the referring URL and then keep it for a day and have it follow where ever the visitor goes in the shopping cart. Then when they check out, the referring URL will populate a form field and be returned as part of the form results. This way I can track where my visitors come from. My code is below and I'm adding it to the file designated as the head section. (The files I have access to must use some form of include but I can't use php in them - just html and javascript. I've tried.)
I have an alert in the code that suggests something to do as well as set the cookie. The alert comes up and the cookie is set but when you go to another page, the alert comes up again and another cookie is set. I just need to have it set once so when they fill out the order form, I'll know where they came from.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
cookie_name = "dataCookie";
var referred;
[code]....
In the body I am reading it with a form field of
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
document.write("<FORM>")
document.write("Originally Referred by:")
[code]....
I want to append a string "&sid=xyz" to the current page URL if the referring URL comes from site [URL]. I have the following code -
var query = location.search.substring(1);
if (document.referrer.indexOf(/xyz/) > 0) {
query = query + "&sid=xyz";
}
However, the string is not being appended.
I have an object, "A", which contains another object "B", as an attribute.
How do I get a hold of Object "A" from within "B"? i.e. I need to refer to the object that B is stored inside from within B's code. Is there some superclass equivalent of 'this' that I don't know about? ('parent'?!)
I have very limited experience with Javascript. Can someone refer me to
info on how to determine the referring URL and the search term used by a
visitor just prior to his landing on my web page?
Is there any way to have the referring field blank when using the GetURL command?

I've been facing a problem assigning a javascript variable to an input text's value attribute.
My code is as follows:
var moduleCd = document.getElementById('client.moduleCd').value;
var productSelectLen = productSelect.options.length;

look at the bold italic marked text where I want to assign the value of variable moduleCd.
Does anyone know of some way of referring to the current line number in a javascript? This would be a handy debugging tool: whenever a function threw an exception, it could say "ERG! Something wrong on THIS line".

I've put together what I think is an illustration of my problem at [URL] Quite simply, I need to be able to access the elements of the form without referring to them by ID as the whole form is intended to be cloned. I intended to do this using parentNode and childNodes[] together with the 'this' keyword. My understanding of 'this' in this context is that it should refer to the HTML element calling the function, i.e. one of the radio button inputs. However this gives the error "Error: this.parentNode is undefined"

After doing some tutorials, I am not sure if this is a bug, or perhaps someone can give me a better explination why it is working the way it is.I am using Visual Studio 2010 combined in a Master Page. In my aspx page, I have the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('input:text:first').focus();

I have a user-defined object being used in a webpage, let's call it Bob. We instantiate bob, like this :
Objname = new Bob();
Now, of course, 'Objname' refers to the new Bob object. Here's my problem: when Bob is initially instantiated, it's created containing code that refers to itself. Specifically, it contains static text that refers to elements of itself. The problem is I need to get a hold of the actual text 'Objname' in order to do this.
This is all very abstract, but I can't really divulge any details without hitting you with a huge amount of code. Still, I hope my problem is clear. And, I (really!) don't want to instantiate Bob like this:
Objname = new Bob('Objname');
since it's really ugly. Any suggestions...?
