I think he is talking about the REFERER: if visitors come from index.html, alert something. In that case, use the History object. — Konerak

if(document.referrer == url){ alert(msg); }

Should do it.

+1 Wow. Had never heard of that, works in Chrome, IE7, and Firefox at least.

Check the referrer, but you most likely will need the absolute uri, like this:

if (document.referrer == 'http://domain.com/index.html')
    alert('How was the index?');

You could of course use the match() method like so if(document.referrer.match("index.php")){ alert(msg) }, but as you rightly say full URL is probably the best idea since it will prevent cross domain matches.
