Re-directing outsiders to a universal URL

[Danny267 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

What code is to be placed in a page so that visitors from a url outside of my domain will be automatically transferred to a universal start page (eg. index.htm)? I'm sure it is easy but cant work it out. Thanks for your help.

[Troyan]

ASP:
If Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFER") = "" Then
Reponse.Redirect "index.htm"
End If

PHP:
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER') == '') { header('location: index.htm'); }

JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.location.referer == '') this.document.location.href='index.htm'; }
</script>

Javascript:

if(!document.referrer){location="index.htm";}

Note the spelling of "referrer", and the references.

Does this work when the user's followed an external link to the page, such
as from a search engine?

Hum, according to DW's JS referrence, it doesn't - it says the string is
filled any time a user follows a link to the page, and I assume that
includes external links. I guess you can just do a string comparison to see
if it's internal or external though.
