That's correct, redirects don't cause the HTTP referer to change, it's still sent as the page the original link was on. This makes sense, because the client isn't coming from the page that did the redirect, they're coming from the page that the link was on.
If you do a client-side redirect (META tag or JS) it should do what you want cheers, barneyb On Mon, 8 Nov 2004 15:22:42 -0700, Jim McAtee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When you direct a client browser to another page through the use of > CFLOCATION, does it not set a referer page?
