Anthony, Like Jason said this can be done by using http header information - referer field. By javascript for example you can access referer and depending on referer send a visitor to a page(site) you prefer. Here is an example how to access referer field by javascript http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol4/javascript_no14.htm sergii

For security purposes I would like to create a script and achieve similar results.I believe that (at least one way) this is done is by checking the referer header. In PHP this can be accessed via the predefined variable: $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], other languages should have similar methods of obtaining this. AFAIK, there is not a difference between HTTP and HTTPS as far as this method is concerned. -- Jason
