Is there any way to log where a person came from to your site?

E.g. I have a counter database which logs the IP, Date, Time and the browser they used, is there any way to get filemaker to also log how they got to the site? (Ie which site they came from).

I'm using an Extreme tracker, but the FM database is logging _loads_ more hits than the tracker is, and frankly I'm more inclined to go with my Filemaker counter. I only really use the Extreme tracker to see where ppl are comin from smile.gif" border="0

I'm assuming it would take some sort of Javascript to do so...

Any ideas?

TIA

I don't have Lasso, spent my last pennies on the unlim FM license smile.gif" border="0 hehe

I'm sure I can mod that Javascript into a URL... cheers smile.gif" border="0

This:

if (document.referrer != "") {

document.write("You arrived from page " + document.referrer + ".")

}

should do the trick.

Lasso has a [log] tag, which will log any data to a file. That, with Lasso's [referrer_url] tag would do what you're looking for. Not sure if CDML has similar.

<script language="javascript1.2">

document.write("<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" rows="1,*" frameborder="no" bordercolor="#333333"><frame name="header" scrolling="no" target="main" src="http://www.pyroport.com:591/FMPro?-db=counter.fp5&-format=main.htm&-lay=counter&-format=top.htm&R=" + document.referrer + "&-new" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

<noframes><body><p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn"t support them.</p></body></noframes></frameset>")

}

</script>

I'm having trouble with the top frame, whenever document.referrer is actually a value Filemaker coughs up a Error Type 5, which is an invalid command.

I've tried various setups but I can't get it to work frown.gif" border="0
