I'm not sure what you mean with that. You have the html page itself and
(embedded?) objects on that the page.
I think that document.referrer should match with the HTTP referrer used to
http-get the html page. That referrer differs from the one that is used to
http-get the (embedded?) objects on the page, because that referrer would be
the URL of the html-page itself.
Are you saying that the rules differ for e.g. embedded html iframes?
Cheers,
Waldo
