what's the purpose of this code (webform)

When I create new web form and copy paste the URL, it always show an error in IE8.
Upon investigation it's this code that cause the IE to break

<script type="text/javascript">var el=document.getElementById("custom_http_referer"); el.value = document.location; </script>

Now what's the purpose of this JS? When I clicked edit HTML in web form, the updated form code doesn't include the above JS
But when I create new web form, the above JS is included in the code

Thanks

This script:

<script type="text/javascript">var el=document.getElementById("custom_http_referer"); el.value = document.location; </script>

needs to be put in the in the code section of your page just after the <body> tag and should be in side a form (form tag looks something like <form action="" method="get"></form>) at the end of your script there should be a closing tag </form>.

So your code should look something like:

<body>
<form action="" method="get"></form><script type="text/javascript">var el=document.getElementById("custom_http_referer"); el.value = document.location; </script>
</form>
</body>

However, when I tested your script it did not display any form field(s) or submit button. Check your original code created in your GetResponse forms again. A simple test is to copy your code (like above) into your notepad text editor and save as test.html to the desktop. Then open file in your browser.
