Javascript redirect based on refferer.

This is a script I used to redirect visits from a certain site to a specific page.

I then used a meta refresh tag to direct them back to the referring site but this can be used simply to display a custom page based on where the visitor was referred from.

domain1.com

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin

var refarray = new Array();

refarray['domain1.com'] = "http://www.able2know.com/pagefordomain1.htm";

refarray['domain2.com'] = "http://www.able2know.com/pagefordomain2.htm";

refarray['domain3.com'] = "http://www.able2know.com/pagefordomain3.htm";

for (var i in refarray) {

if (document.referrer.indexOf(i) != -1) window.location.replace(refarray[i]);

}

//  End -->

</script>

Replace each domain in the array to the ones you want to add as refferers and specify the page to use as a redirect using the URL format shown above.

I take it this is how redirection works for expired web pages (e. g. X page has expired. Your browser will now redirect you to the Y page. Click here if your browser doesn't redirect you in five minutes)?

The pages that direct you to a new page are probably using a meta refresh tag, this is a bit different because there is no option for a timed delay (with the meta refresh you can choose how many seconds it takes) and it only redirects you if the site that referred you in in the javascript array.

Here is the meta refresh code. It's very simple.
