Will Pay NP$ for Code: Referral URL for Mobile Phone

[RegFee]

I am having a mobile site developed, however, my developer has been unable to find a suitable code to pull a MOBILE PHONE visitor's REFERRAL URL and prefill a form with that information.

Limitations:
HTTP_REFERRER is only valid if the user clicks on a link to get to my site. I need a way to pull the user's referral url if they are visiting any site and decide to visit mine by pulling up their bookmark menu and selecting my link.

Javascript support for mobile phones is unreliable.

I will pay 200 NP$ to the first person to provide a solution to my problem.

Thank you,
Jorge

I don't even think that's possible on computers?
There is no referrer if they just click on a bookmark.. Nothing referred them.
It's up to the browser, anyways, on what they send you.

Mobile phones don't have a browser that is compatible with referral.. Or keeps track of what they last visited (PSP does).

I don't think that's even possible without using clientside javascript to look at the history. The last visited site is never sent to the server when requesting a page, and only when clicking a link from a page is the referrer field sent.

I never knew that iNod :p, not even Opera?

As for the topic, i believe what Dan said is true - that can't even be done on computers with standard browsers. Clicking a bookmark is in effect just entering the URL into the address bar automatically, so no referrer is made.
