Hello, I was curious if this is possible.

I have several links on on multiple pages on my site that go to another site. Whenever a use clicks on the link it shows up as a referal from my site but it displays the page it sent from. I was curious how to make that referal be my main page of my site without it actually being from my mainpage.

I hope I haven't confused anyone....Basically I want to the referals from my site to look say "http://www.mysite.com/" and not "http://www.mysite.com/widgets/widget1.html", "http://www.mysite.com/widgets/widget2.html", "http://www.mysite.com/widgets/widget2.html".

Is this possible?

Thanks :)

Hmmm ... the referrer is an optional component of the info a *client* sends to the host with the request. The client being the web browser. Since it is optional, not all clients send a referrer.

You could try sending the clicks to an "exit" page on your server for processing and try to add HTTP_REFERER data to the outgoing request, but if the client is already set to send a referrer, it would probably override the false header info you want to send.
