Does any one know a way to fool the javascript command: document.referrer and make it so that the document.referrer is what you wish it to be?

Hmmm...I'm not certain this is possible. In any event, in combination with your other thread "Faking IP?" (http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16613), I hope you're not trying to accomplish something that's illegitimate/ outside the bounds of responsible scripting. Such questions will not be entertained on CF.

No, as you can plainly see here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/referrer.asp), the referrer property is read-only.

Document.referrer is provided by the browser so it's possible for that information to be incorrect. I know it's not always right because I can see records with the referrer in the logs on my server which show pages that simply don't have links to my pages on occasion.
