OK .. admittedly this is newbie dumb...
Its a JAVA script in a FORM

I have passed (successfully) the referring URL into my form
page on loading....

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
// THIS IS THE URL FROM THE REFERRERING PAGE!
var originalURL = unescape(location.search.substring(1));
//alert(originalURL ); // this works!
//--></script>

Now I just want to send this URL name from my form when submit
is pressed so I added this in my Form code.

<input type=hidden name=Referrer value="originalURL">

Now, ON submit I can send this hidden field, but it is always
arrives as
Referrer: originalURL
not the value I see in my alert ALERT test (i.e. the actual URL)

stupid huh... can anyone help me?

Thanks -stone

For example you could add simple JavaScript after HTML tag for your button
named Referrer:

document.forms[0].Referrer.value = originalURL;
