do something if window.history location is from www.example.com

Question

how can we determine if window.history is from a certain URL like www.example.com , and then do something for example :

if ( //window.history includes example.com string ) { $('.myclassname').hide() }

it actually needs to know the link location of history ... is there any way to find it out ?

You can only get the referer(the page user came from) via document.referer. You can't access history from js.

with document.referrer, how can we extract the URL of the previous page in which a user was ? – Payam Shakibafar Feb 05 '13 at 12:33
`alert(document.referrer)` – Heavy Feb 05 '13 at 12:37
I tested that before, it alerts a blank popup while first I go to google.com and then go to my html link... – Payam Shakibafar Feb 05 '13 at 12:39
User should **click** the link to pass referer. If you visit google, then just paste link into address bar, referer will be empty. By the way, google uses anti-referer protection. – Heavy Feb 05 '13 at 12:57
about google yeah u are right. but about the link, I have 2 html files, index.html & single.html. I've put single.html link in index.html. first i go to index and then click on the link of single page.. but still the alert is blank ... – Payam Shakibafar Feb 05 '13 at 13:06
