Document: referrer property
The Document.referrer
property returns the URI of the page that linked to
this page.
Value
The value is an empty string if the user navigated to the page directly (not through a link, but, for example, by using a bookmark). Because this property returns only a string, it doesn't give you document object model (DOM) access to the referring page.
Inside an <iframe>
, the Document.referrer
will initially
be set to the same value as the href
of
the parent window's Window.location
.
