Has there ever been such thing as a link that you put on your website which automatically changes to whichever site you are surfing? If so, how do you do this?

*This is out of curiosity...*

Not that I've ever heard of it...

I doubt you're talking about banner exchange?

you could use history.go function, but i don't know how you could retrieve the URL. Thsi may or may not work. this assingns the variable "a" with the URL of th previos site:

a = history.go(1);

you could use a document.write command to display the info:


<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript>

a = history.go(1);

document.write("You last Surfed at " + a + "didn't you?");

</script>

You can include any HTML tags within the "" parts in the document.write part. Incase you were wondering the 1 part in the first part makes it go 1 back in the history, if you wanted to know the site b4 last then change it to 2 etc.

Mabey i'm some sort explainer-bot but i always give the clearest explainations i can

Thanks for all the help :) .

two errors in that script, and i added some extra stuff:

Errors

1.) Type didn't have " after it
2.) There wasn't a sapce after writing the "a" value

Added Stuff

1.) If the person has just opened a browser window to the site then a is undefined. I used if and else to fix this



<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

a = history.go(1);

if (a==undefined) {document.write("Aaaaahhhh. You opened a new window just for this site! I feel so loved!");}

else {document.write("You last Surfed at " + a + " didn't you?");}

</script>
