Hi was wondering if someone could help me with this.

I was looking to put a Javascript in the head of a page that would only allow the page to load for someone being redirect from a specific page in my site and redirect the others to another page in my site.

I did find this script:

Forum Questions:

Referer page
return to submit
forums

<!-- Original: Ronnie T. Moore, Editor -->
[!-- Begin
var refarray = new Array();
refarray['excite.com'] = "page.html?from=excite";
refarray['yahoo.com'] = "page.html?from=yahoo";
refarray['lycos.com'] = "page.html?from=lycos";
refarray['infoseek.com'] = "page.html?from=infoseek";
for (var i in refarray) {
if (document.referrer.indexOf(i) != -1) window.location.replace(refarray[i]);
}

but am not sure how it should or could be modified.

Any ideas?

for your qustion (making sure it comes from one place try:

Code:
if (document.referrer.indexOf("[the page they have to come from]") == -1) window.location.replace("[where to redirect them]");

replace [the page they have come from] and [where to rediret them] with valid locations

(the where they come from can be any part of where the other page is (/whatever/page.html, mydomain.com, mydomain.com/whatever, mydomain.com/whatever/page.html )

--hope that helps

Yes, Thank You, that helps with the original script I found above, but I guess I should explain what I'm doing. I have a password login page called LogIn.html and what I want to do is on the clients page that they log into (call it Client.html) I would like to prevent someone coming from somewhere else from directly accessing the page and to refer them to the LogIn page and anyone coming from the LogIn page to be allowed into their page. Hope I explained that correctly. It's kind of a week security validation in addition to the LogIn pages encoding and validation sscript.

So, ignoring the original script and using the code you have above, how would i word an:

IF they come from LogIn.html allow access to this page (Client.html), ELSE send them to the LogIn page.

It's kinda like the Force Frameset scripts out there.

I really appreciate your time and help! Thanks!

the code i provided should do that:

how it works:
if ( -- self explanitory
document.referrer.indexOf( -- does the page they are coming from conaint the following
"[the page they have to come from]" -- what page they came from
) == -1) -- this checks and sees if the answer is no (ie they didn't come from that page)

window.location.replace( -- then set the window location to the following
"[where to redirect them]" -- where to set the window location
);

in your case both [the page they came from] and [where to redirect them] would be the full path including domain name to login.html
