Blog ≫ 2006 ≫ Done my Javascript referer thing

See my landing page 1 thing in action 2 like so:

Google for Paul Clarke CV

Click on the Paul Clarke CV 3 link in the google results

Wait for the very exciting floating window to appear on the results saying "I see you came here from a search result (for Paul Clarke)" etc, it should have links to more relevant things.

Only tested it in Firefox and MSIE so far as that's all I have here. Also had to cripple it if the resulting page is already a search result as it was hammering the server too hard. Source code is here 4 in case you're interested, should work as is, might need a bit of tidying up...

UPDATE: [s]Test this in one click here, and rewritten it in PHP so it shouldn't put too much load on the server...[/s]

UPDATE UPDATE: probably broken it again :-(

  1. This was dynamically inserting extra links into pages if you came in via a search engine, surely gone now.
  2. So just to repeat, not in action, don't think it works.
  3. A page of mine that was top in Google's results, a long long time ago. I don't keep my cv here any more.
  4. No, source code is gone, it was /js/processReferer.js
