Getting Document.referrer Past The Ampersand In URL
Mar 14, 2002When using document.referrer to get the referring URL it only sees up to the ampersand
i.e. www.something.com/script?name=value&
Is there any way to get the rest of the URL?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.referrer.indexOf("http://www.example.com")
!= -1){ document.write("http://www.example.com/image1.jpg")}
</SCRIPT>
This is my first time messing with the document.referrer tag in javaScript, and I'm afraid it's giving me some trouble. It all seems very simple and I'm having no problem getting the other document methods to work, but this one just refuses to get in line. Here's my test code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>refer test</title>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
<script LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT
TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
<!-- Hide script from old browsers
document.write('<P>Here's the URL: ' + document.URL);
document.write('<P>Here's the last modified info : ' + document.lastModified);
document.write('<P>Here's the referrer: ' + document.referrer);
//-- Stop hiding script -->
</SCRIPT>
</body>
</HTML>
The document.URL and document.lastModified work fine, but referrer never shows up. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Chrome creates new process for each instance(click to any _blank url). The new instance doesn't get 'document.referrer'.
How I can get it for Chrome? (This problems is only for Chrome)
You can create simple links and page.
This page contain next text:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" charset='UTF-8'>
document.write('<H2>');
document.write('<b>Referrer Is: </b>');

I'm trying to create a splash page effect on my index page by adding some full screen images with jquery. I got that to work, but I only want to call the script if a person is arriving at the homepage after coming from an external site. I think I can use document.referrer in something like this:

But it's not working I'm very new to javascript .
I need to open a new window(child) once the user clicks on the KPI(parent window) field on a Web page. I pass some parameters in the string. Problem is the KPI field can have the "&" ampersand character in it and the string thinks it is another parameter being sent. how I can get around this?
[Code]...
Pretty simple, I am sure. I have a small JS script, which is
function OpenSomething(input)
{
win3=window.open("some_file.php?info=" +
input,"mywin","width=500,height=600,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes");
return false;
}
The problem is that "input" comes from a text box, and can contain
ampersand.
All I need is to replace ampersand with %26, and do the same in PHP
(which I know how to do). But how do I do that in JS?
I have a form that has a text area to send data to a mysql database. the problem is when you type contents into the textarea and the contents happens to have an ampersand, everything after and including the ampersand gets truncated. I'm using ajax to store values from the form into MySQL
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a function that takes the input from a text area, searches through the text, and should replace &, ", <, or > with &, <, etc. As the code is now, it will replace other characters, but runs into an infinite loop when dealing with ampersands.I'm thinking it's finding the ampersands from other things it has already replaced and trying to replace them over and over.how to improve this and break out of the loop?
Code:
<script language="javascript">
function replace(){[code].....
Here's a link to try it out, but the loop is infinite if you search for an & and may crash your browser.
Ihave a list named'Geography', the list has a dropdown field called CountryDropDown, ID of this field is ID_CountryDropDown. This field is looking up to another list called LookUpCountry, which contains all the country names in the 'Title' Column.

Is there any was to prevent ampersand from splitting up the passed data? For example if my data looks like: "This is some text&blah blah" If I pass it as data it will get split up at "&": This is some text blah blah
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using ajax to store values from a form into MySQL. The form contains a text field named "title" and the method I'm using to fetch and pass on the data to the backend is shown below:
_data = "title=" + $( '#title' ).val();
$.ajax({
async: true,
type: "POST",
url: "backend.php",
dataType: "json",
data: _data,
success: function( json ) { .... }
}});
The method works fine for normal text, say "This is a sample text". However, if an ampersand is used in the title text (example: "This & That"), the post value is being truncated at the ampersand. In effect, the & in it is causing the string to be split up into two segments and the
part after the & is being treated as a variable,
i.e. instead of passing
title = This & That
What is being passed is,
title = This
That =

Is there a way to turn the document.referrer string into a Location like
object, so I can extrac the domain and other parts of it?
I have some JS code that launches a popup (which is a PHP enabled page). It's the standard window.open setup.
On that popup, I need to detect the referrer.
In PHP, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] is not set, so I get nothing. As well, document.referrer is empty.
So how to detect the referrer?
I have a site with the "standar" three frames (top, left, main) and in one of then i have a link that calls a Javascript function that at some point do
if(readCookie('TreeUtente')==null){
top.location.href = "Login.asp";
return;}
But this is sending the referrer the url of the frame where the code is, not the window url. How can i make the referrer the window url, not the frame url? From what i've serched Javascript can not change the referrer, is there any workaround?
Is there a way to set the value of HTTP header Referrer to null or to
any specified value?? I have tried doing this
document.Referrer= null
but document.Referrer is a read only property therefore the value can't
be changed and a Javascript error is occuring. Any ideas on how this
can be achieved.
It certainly doesn't help that IE doesn't seem to pass document.referrer or am I missing something ? Is it set up thru an add-on analysis package? (referrer info from logs? )

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have very little knowledge of javascript, other than modifying existing scripts, and I can't find anything about this particular problem. creating a simple script that will display a div ONLY if the user comes from a certain page within the same site.
Not sure if that was clear, but let me try with specifics. There is a link to a page called 'Clients' on the 'About Us' page. If a user goes directly to 'Clients', they should have a normal experience. If, however, they come via the 'About Us' page, I want to display a div at the bottom of the page that will take them back to the 'About Us' page.
I know how to get a referrer, and I know how to show/hide divs. I just don't know how to combine the two.
Is there any script that can hide referrer and works with both IE and fire fox?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get the top referrer. My script is called in a (nested) Iframe over multiple domains.
I googled a lot, and I'm getting the idea that it's not possible to do this.
For example: Somesite -> iframe (domain A) -> iframe (domain B) -> my script(domain C)
