I need to change the (&) html to a plus sign (+) so as to escape any parsing problems.
Thanks,
Douglas
What I would probably do is use the replace() function and a simple regular expression.
orig = document.referrer;
chgd = orig.replace(/&/, '+');
Thanks. I tried the following but I'm at a loss as to the correct javascript.
I'm trying to send the HTTP_REFERER via a form as noted below.
The script that handles the form can not parse (&), thus my need to change those to a (+) plus sign.
Below is a test of what I'm accessing, but I still get an error, don't know why..
-------------------------------------------
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function replace()
{orig = document.referrer;
chgd = orig.replace(/&/, '+');
}
<script>
</head>
<body>
<form>.....blah, blah
<input type=hidden name="SO_GL" value='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><SO_GL><GLOBAL_LIST><NAME>SITE_LIST_EXTERNAL_REMARK</NAME><LIST_ELEMENT><CODE>HTTP REFERER</CODE><LIST_VALUE>
<script><document.write("referrer()")></script>
</LIST_VALUE></LIST_ELEMENT></GLOBAL_LIST></SO_GL>'>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"></FORM>
</body>

Try something like this...
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function replace()
{
var orig = document.referrer;
var chgd = orig.replace(/&/, '+');
var completestring = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>' + '<SO_GL><GLOBAL_LIST><NAME>SITE_LIST_EXTERNAL_REMARK<\/NAME>' + '<LIST_ELEMENT><CODE>HTTP REFERER<\/CODE>' + '<LIST_VALUE>'+chgd+'<\/LIST_VALUE>' + '<\/LIST_ELEMENT><\/GLOBAL_LIST><\/SO_GL>';
var the_xml_input_obj = document.getElementById('the_xml_input');
the_xml_input_obj.value = completestring;
alert(the_xml_input_obj.value);
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>.....blah, blah
<input type=hidden name="SO_GL" value='' id="the_xml_input">
<script type="text/javascript">replace();</script>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"></FORM>
</body>
It loads the xml string into a variable and concatenates in the referrer value. Then pops it into the value of the input.
This would probably be better as a server side thing though. Do you have access to PHP or ASP? I can provide sample code for PHP.
<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];?><input type=hidden name="SO_GL" value='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<SO_GL><GLOBAL_LIST><NAME>SITE_LIST_EXTERNAL_REMARK</NAME>
<LIST_ELEMENT><CODE>HTTP REFERER</CODE>
<LIST_VALUE></LIST_VALUE>
</LIST_ELEMENT></GLOBAL_LIST></SO_GL>'>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"></FORM>
Also, be sure to take out the "alert(the_xml_input_obj.value); " I put in there for debugging.
replacereplacelocationString.prototype
It works on the browser, but does NOT send the information in the form value.
Still trying to debug that part.
I'm going to try to call it from a .js file and see if it works with an onload function.

This is what I have so far
-------- form.js ------------------
function replace(){
var orig = document.referrer;
var chgd = orig.replace(/&/g, +); //replace the & sign to a + sign
var chgd = orig.replace(/&/g, +); //replace any & sign to a + sign
document.myform.SO_GL.value = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><SO_GL><GLOBAL_LIST><NAME>SITE_LIST_EXTERNAL_REMARK</
NAME><LIST_ELEMENT><CODE>HTTP REFERER</CODE><LIST_ELEMENT><CODE>UD1</
CODE><LIST_VALUE><!--#echo var="server_addr"--></LIST_VALUE></
LIST_ELEMENT><LIST_ELEMENT><CODE>UD2</CODE><LIST_VALUE><!--#echo var="

LIST_ELEMENT><LIST_ELEMENT><CODE>UD5</CODE><LIST_VALUE>+chgd+</LIST_VALUE></
LIST_ELEMENT></GLOBAL_LIST></SO_GL>"
}
function formValidator (theForm) {
replace();
}
-----------------------------------
On the web page I call it via:
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http:/[smilestopper]/www.example.com/form.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
Then from the <body>
<Form name="myform" method="POST" onSubmit="return formValidator(this)">
<input type=hidden name="SO_GL" value="">
Any help is welcomed, I don't know how to make it work, but I'm sure there is a way to parse information into the form.
Thanks,
Douglas
