document referrer only works in Netscape

Howdy

I'm using different variations of this script but it only works in Netscape.
I'm using IE 6 not 3.02 but it still sends me to the wrong page URL.

Is there any way to detect and redirect depending on the referrer so it will work in IE too?
I know it wont work in IE 3.02 but I thought that was the only version it didn't work with.
Maybe something wrong with my IE?


if (document.referrer.substring(0,22) != "https://www.paypal.com")
top.location.href = "http://WrongPageURL"


Thanks

I wouldn't think it was the browser. some servers and some browsers just don't send a referer. some people can even block it in the browser.

Scoutt's right. The referrer is only set if the user clicks on a link to navigate to your page. If they use History, Favorites or script the referrer is blank.
