___ FLU();

Can you help on this routine ? (flu) is used to force all visitors to
go first on the home page http://home.freegates.be/club-bourse/ if
they arrived on another page first (from a search engine).

Because all visitors must click on the links to US/FR/NL pages.
This link launches this /cgi-bing/go.pl?fr (or ?us or ?nl). This perl
is used to collect various files for the moment (automatic download of
files).

How does it works ?
Every page display a banner on top of the page. The code is in JS.
Just before displaying the banner, flu() is launched to check if the
visitor has visited the home page.
On the home page a cookie is added, just to know if he has visited it,
nothing else.

But as you can see, http://home.freegates.be/club-bourse/ is
immediately modified to http://home2.freegates.be/club-bourse/ (2 is added).

I have modified the code but it does not work on MS browserS.

On NETSCAPE the navigator.CB is used and it works perfectly.
As you can see in flu(), the MS part (after 1st ELSE) is not working.

Note:
Don't confuse, for Netscape navigator.CB is set to the String "Stf"
but in MS part of the code
Stf is a VAR equal to http://home.freegates.be/club-bourse/ and Stf2
for the second URL.
They are not related and this was done intentionaly to make the code
more unreadable to newbies.

CAN YOU HELP ?
Create a more reliable FLU() function that works for Netscape
(navigator.CB var exists only in Netscape) and for MS Browsers (and
others ?). The more browsers you can handle the more powerful will
become our go.pl routine for SRS.

If you have any other solution (not in java!) to force user to go on
the home page when they enter a CB page, don't hesitate.

Thanks in advance.

Please also send your answers to thx1133 -AT- freegates.be

Sincerely
Stf
