Hi there,
I'm very interested in this message. I know it for example from Neopets, an online game where you can play games and sell items etc.
When you are in a shop, there are items you can click on. If you do so, a popup screen appears with a field where you can fill in the price for that item.
When you are in the shop and type the URL which is the value of href of the link, no popup appears but a text like "You are directed from the wrong page". This is a bit strange, because they can't use the javascript history function.
Apart from the href value there is an onclick-value of the link, with the value this.href="" and almost the same value as in href, except one parameter that's added and one that's present in the href value but not in this one.

I want to know how this works because I'm probably going to make a wizard on internet in which people have to fill in information by steps. I know there are other ways to prevent people directly accessing further steps of the wizard but I want to do it this way .

probably they are detecting the referer and if it's empty or not on the same site sending the alert
