If pages are within a frame and they are viewed with MSIE: the HTTP_REFERER variable is set to the frame source file. Mostly index.htm. Netscape will set the HTTP_REFERER to the URL that actualy refered your site. Only solution is to make your index a PHP script that saves the referer. Problem is that in that case possible POST vars should be handled which is not the case when your index file is simple HTML. Maybe I'm overlooking something.
