scisuk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have a script which takes the referring page using to tell it which area to strip in between the <PRINT> and </PRINT> tags and output to the browser.

However - this is outputting nothing to the browser. Simply because the site uses framed forwarding. So the referrer is being sent to the script as the domain with the frames on and not my server.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to cross this bridge?

Thanks in advance.

    have you tried passing the information as a query? because you are heavily relying on the browser to tell you what to do, and this can be tricky.. why not pass a query to the script to tell it what to strip?

    He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.
