[panaceapeace]

Hi

Iam novice about javascript.

other website will insert a jave script code from my site so that i will update the content to their website automatically.

Now i have a requirement, that i need to know which website are using my code.Right now my code will serve their request but dont report who is requesting.

How can i know which url is requesting my service?

TIA

The document object has a referrer property that contains the URL of a page that linked to the current page. Bookmarks or typing the URL into the location bar will not produce a referrer property. Also, some versions of IE do not reliably report the referrer.

Type this into your browser's location bar now for a demo:

javascript:alert(document.referrer);

Referrer information is sent by the browser and may be switched off or even faked.

You may prefer, in the future, to arrange for urls to your site to include unique codes.
e.g.
www.yourdomain.com/page.html?unique_idcode

The unique_idcode should be allocated by you to identify each referrer.

Which system is best (or a combination of both) will depend on what sort of service you are offering and other factors.
