Document.referrer script working in Firefox but not IE
I'm trying to create a simple script to verify the referrer URL, then if the referrer URL is what I specify display the content. So far this script works fine in Firefox, but does not seem to work in IE.
(linkaccess.html)
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>test</title>
<script>
if (document.referrer != "http://www.domain.com/linksource.html"){
alert ("cannot find link")
location.href = "protect.html";
}
else {alert ("found it hurray")}
</script>
</head>
<body>
test
</body>
</html>
(linksource.html)
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>test</title>

<a href="linkaccess.html">tes

Why the grading B?

Well, I guess a Grade A would have been a more comprehensive answer with maybe some links to help understand the response.redirect concept. Please forgive me if I sound a bit picky.
