How to get referer URL if you opened a pop up window using JavaScript

843835Oct 17 2002 — edited Oct 18 2002

I have a link on the parent window that would open up a pop up window.

If I use following code:
Open window - I get the referal URL (i.e. of the parent window) on the pop up window.

However, if I use JavaScript:
Open window - the referal URL is null.

Can any one tell how I can get around with this problem?
