Do IFrames mask the referrer?

    If I put site A in an Iframe, will site A be able to see the referrer that hits the main site?

    if they look at your source yes. but you could avoid that by using a simple htaccess redirect.

    Hi,

    I use iFrames in my site to show sponsored content and I used the referer code to present it. I also give the user the option to open the content in it's own window as I think that they're more likely to sign-up to that content if they can.

    Basically it seems to work for me although I've not made a penny from it!

    Cheers, pondlife.
