Hi there,

Can someone give me any idea why the following works in every other browser except IE?

—–

if (site == ‘http://www.thenoiseroom.com/index.html‘ || site == ‘http://www.thenoiseroom.com/‘ || site == ‘http://www.thenoiseroom.com/index.htm‘ || site == ‘http://www.thenoiseroom.com/leftmenuframe.html‘ || site == ‘http://www.thenoiseroom.com/frameset.html‘ || site == ‘http://www.thenoiseroom.com/topframe.html‘ || site == ‘http://www.thenoiseroom.com/toplineframe.html‘ || site == ‘http://www.thenoiseroom.com/topmenuframe.html‘ || site == ” || site == null) {
document.writeln (‘<frame src=”mainframe.php” name=”mainFrame” scrolling=”YES” noresize>’);
}

——

In IE it doesn’t recognise that the value site is [url]http://www.thenoiseroom.com/[/url]

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks
rob

Thanks for your reply.

The variable site is

site = document.referrer

Look forward to any thoughts


Cheers

document.referrer is generally null in IE

The thing is when I get the variable site displayed via an alert in IE it DOES show the correct URL however for some reason the if statement does not seem to be picking it up.

Also if it is NULL the if statement should be true but it doesn't do what is contained in it!

Any ideas?

Cheers

@TheBearMayFeb 11.2004 — Well if you're getting a value how about trying:

[code=php]
if (site.substring(0,27) == "http://www.thenoiseroom.com" || site == "" ||
site == null) {
...[/code]

Thanks for the ideas but I have fixed it. It turns out that document.referrer in IE returns :

http://www.yoursite.com

whereas other browsers return

http://www.yoursite.com/

Simple but frustrating when you miss it!

Cheers
