you can use the Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_Referrer") if it has been send there by a link or so.

HTTP_Referrer is not very reliable. It can be blocked by ISP's browsers etc.

There's no reliable way that I know of to get the referrer.

That said, even if it wasn't working, your page shouldn't output 'test' if you are using the code you posted above. It will either show an error, or a blank screen or the referrer.

If it showed 'test' then there's something wrong with your code.

Cheers,
Andrew

there is nothing wrong with my code because of the test directly above the <%...</html> code

lol, sorry eagle!

I saw the variable name (test) and thought you must have put it in quotes or something.

It isn't coming though then. As I said its not reliable.

Whoops, hang on, try Referer with ONE 'R'. Its a common gotchya.

If that doesn't work then try running one of the script which shows a lit of all the server variables that ARE coming through:
http://www.asp101.com/samples/servvars.asp - http://www.asp101.com/samples/servvars.asp

Hope this helps,
Andrew

------ test.asp ------

</body>
</html>

You don't need the framework.

Perhaps it didn't show up because you didnt navigate TO that page *from* another (refering) page.

If it still doesn't work, and you've made sure that you've spelt 'REFERER' correctly in you script, it might pay to search google as I know there are issues with it being bloked by certain ISP or servers.

Cheers,
Andrew
