Hey I wanted to see if anyone knew the answer to this. I made a page with a php image redirect through .htaccess to stuff cookies let's call it page A.html.

If I put A.html in an iframe on page B.html. Which page will show as the referring site to the affiliate program page A or B?

Pretty sure B would show up - try it out with a program that shows referers and see, it's really the only way you will know for sure.

I think it would be page A, since that's where the image is being called from. Guess you'll need to check though to be sure.

I have to agree with donnieo. I use similar method that I have tested on IE6/7 and Firefox and its always page A that shows up as the referrer.

Yep, technically, an iframe is a separate "page", therefore it makes sense that it'd show up as the referrer.

It will be Page A for sure!
