document.referrer result being truncated!

[gocre8]

hope someone can advise! . . .

i'm using this code...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
 document.write("<INPUT type=hidden NAME=referrer VALUE=" + 'document.referrer' + ">");
</SCRIPT>

to generate a hidden field to be submitted with a php formmail script, so i know from which url the visitor has filled in the form. this works well, except for the fact that the url is truncated/corrupted in some way at the end so this....

gallery/index.php?level =picture&id=256

ends up like this...

gallery/index.php?level =picture&id%6

this is obviously a pain in the arse as the info is of no use unless its the the full, unabridged url!

any advice appreciated!

many thanks :)

Use encodeURI() or encodeURICompon ent() and decodeURICompon ent() to encode/decode the URL.

<script type="text/javascript">
 document.write("<input type='hidden' name='referrer' value='" + encodeURI(document.referrer) + "'>");
</script>
