Mike, the second method on my test page will work providing you don't
genuinely have a proxy that is stripping the referrer. ("you" being the
person accessing the seal). I don't have any stats on how many people are
behind such a proxy but I would imagine it would be quite small?On the other hand the first method won't work for IE users even if they're not behind a proxy. (I keep saying "IE users", it may be IE6 only but I have no way to test this tonight) David On Thu, 17 Oct 2002, Mike Allen wrote: > Well. We tried the seal and nothing works.
