Checking the referrer

Question

I\'m using this to check if someone came from Reddit, however it doesn\'t work.

var ref = document.referrer;
if(ref.match(\"/http://(www.)?reddit.com(/)?(.*)         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

ref.match(new RegExp("^http://(www\\.)?reddit\\.com/", "i"))

Or:

ref.match(/^http:\/\/(www\.)?reddit\.com\//i)
