How do I check if a page is bookmarked

Without resorting to using an ActiveX or some other kind of client side coding:

Is it possible to determine if a visitor to a website arrived to a page via his bookmarks or the home page?

Personally I think its impossible, but I would like to be sure or proven wrong.

The way I am doing something like this at the moment is:

Request.UrlReferrer

If I don't find anything there, I currently deduce the user had me bookmarked.

Solution

  • Short answer, no.

    Long answer, not in a portable foolproof manner.
