Using the *WEBREFERRER System Variable

Post by caseywhite »

In VL Web the *WEBREFERRER system variable returns the URL of the page you just landed on and not the site I came from when I send back the value form the server module.

What I am trying to do is determine whether the user came from another page by clicking on a link to get to the site or whether they have just typed in the URL or selected it from a bookmark.

Is there a property that I can use that is equivalent to *WEBREFERRER or a way I can determine whether the user came to the site by clicking on a URL.

Thanks. I ended up just creating a widget that returns document.referrer.

But I will log the enhancement request though.
