detecting domain re-direction

[Dave Parkinson]

Can anyone help. I'm new to Javascript so be gentle.

I have 2 registered domains which are set up to redirect to my homepages
which are on a different ISP. I have been told that it is possible to use
Javascript to detect which domain name the viewer has come from and then
switch to a different index.htm page accordingly. I have tried searching
assorted archives, but can't get anything working.

Only if they have scripting enabled.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.referrer && document.referrer="http://www.mydomain1.com/"){
window.location = "http://www.myotherdomain.com/page1.html"
}
else{
window.location = "http://www.myotherdomain.com/page2.html"
}

Note that document.referrer returns an empty string in IE when tested
offline.
