I have no links to this page. I have a link to a logon page that runs a
script. The script takes you to the page. My concern is to stop someone
from making the page a favorite...hence avoiding the logon page (and yes I
realize if the user has it in his favorite, then he must be a member and is
authorized... I prefer him to logon each time).

With the referrer script in place, a person that loads it from a favorite
get redirected to the homepage where he has to go through the proper logon.
The problem is that theirs no way to get to the page at all. Even after the
logon prompt validates the password, the user is redirected to the index in
an endless loop.

I hope this makes sense.
