    Hi y'all,

    The code works in firefox but doesn't seem to work in IE. Can anyone see the problem? Thanks.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    document.write("<table border=0 width=407 height=41>")
    document.write("<tr>")
    document.write("<td>")
    document.write("<p align=left>")
    document.write("<a href=")
    document.write(document.referrer)
    document.write(">")
    document.write("<font color=#686964 face=Trebuchet MS size=2>")
    document.write(document.referrer)
    document.write("</font></a></td></tr></table>")
    </script>

    Do you have it in the HEAD tags?

    I prefer to load javascript in the head tags, then only call them through a function when needed...

    Also, I'd recommend using semi-colons at the end of every line...

    I edited your code, the way that I would do it...

    <html>
<head>
<title>hi</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function showbacklink(){
document.write("<a href='");
document.write(document.referrer);
document.write("'>Referrer</a>");
}
-->
</script>

</head>
<body>

<table border=0 width=407 height=41>
<tr>
<td>
<p align=left>
<font color=#686964 face=Trebuchet MS size=2>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
showbacklink();
-->
</script>
</font></a></td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>
    HTML:
    Tested it, and it works fine in IE and FF for me...

    Thanks. It works on my server, too. Hopefully it'll work on my work's server (running MIVA).

    Thanks again. :D
