Also, do all web browsers implement the referrer? You could set a cookie in page A and check for it in page B, but you'd have to assume the user had cookies on. Maybe encoding some information about the connection along with a secret page ID and tacking that onto the url pointing at page B. Then re-encode the info on page B and see if it matches. Of course assuming you're using some sort of scripting. -Steve _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
