DOM:document.referrer

From MDC

« Gecko DOM Reference

Contents

[edit] Summary

Returns the URI of the page that linked to this page.

[edit] Syntax

string = document.referrer 

[edit] Notes

The value is an empty string if the user navigated to the page directly (not through a link, but, for example, via a bookmark). Since this property returns only a string, it does not give you DOM access to the referring page.

[edit] Specification

DOM Level 2: referrer
