host name delimiter

Hi,

I was given this script weeks ago. It checks to make sure that my domain is accessing the site this script is on, and only my site.
It will keep most people off the page that aren't suppose to be there.

The problem is that it doesn't work. Either it doesn't work in "IE" or not at all. Any ideas?

Thanks

<script>
if (location.hostname!="http://www.mysite.com") {
alert("The site that has linked you to this is not authorized.");
location.replace("sorry.html");
}
</script>

The location.hostname property contains the server name, subdomain and domain name/IP address of the current url.

if (location.hostname!="www.mysite.com") {
alert("The site that has linked you to this is not authorized.");
location.replace("sorry.html");
}

Alternately:

if (location.href.indexOf("www.mysite.com") == -1) {

try losing the "http://" in your condition

Hi,

I tried all of the suggestions, same result. Maybe its "IE"? Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

Hey, do a little debugging:

alert(location.hostname);

Might as well find out what the script has to work with...

p.s. try location.host

or try document.domain

Hi,

Thanks to the both of you. "document.domain" was the working piece:

<script>
if (document.domain!="my-domain.com") {
alert("Don't have permission");
location.replace("http://www.excite.com");
}
</script>
