Hello!
I would like to find a code that according to the reffereral url when the user click on one of the external link he will get different id.
For example:
If referral_URL is yahoo
Than
Id=1234
If referral_URL is Google
Than
Id=9876
Else
Id=1111

Thanks!

OK – I realized I need an improvement.
Each incoming campaign URL as a parameter: id=Google or id=overture.
I would like the script to say:
If id=Google (we need to part the url string from http://search.google.com/?id=google into just id=Google)
Then
Id1=xxxx
If id=overture
Than id1=yyyyy
Else (no id parameter in the incoming link)
Id1=zzzzz
End.

Thanks!

You might be better off with a server side code instaead of JS, but here goes:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
		<title>Untitled Page</title>
		<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function cbegeturlArguments() { 
	var idx = location.href.indexOf("?"); 
	var params = new Array(); 
	if (idx != -1) { 
		var pairs = location.href.substring(idx+1, location.href.length).split("&"); 
		for (var i=0; i<pairs.length; i++) { 
			nameVal = pairs[i].split("="); 
			params[i] = nameVal[1]; 
			params[nameVal[0]] = nameVal[1]; 
		} 
	} 
	return params;
}

var urlArgs = cbegeturlArguments();
var Id1 = "zzzzz";
switch (urlArgs["id"]) {
	case "google":
	Id1 = "xxxxx";
	break;

	case "overture":
	Id1 = "yyyyy";
	break;
}

//-->
</script>
	</head>

	<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
		<p><script>document.write(Id1)</script></p>
		<p><a href="refer.html">No Link</a></p>
		<p><a href="refer.html?id=google">Google Link</a></p>
		<p><a href="refer.html?id=overture">Overture Link</a></p>
	</body>
