Question

Is there a way I can get the previous page the user was at in classic ASP? I am looking for the equivalent of history.go(-1) in JavaScript.

Answer 1

Depending upon your needs you may be able to use:

Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER");

Returns a string containing the URL of
the page that referred the request to
the current page using an <a> tag. If
the page is redirected, HTTP_REFERER
is empty.

Typically if I need to know where the user came from, though, I would set this explicitly in the querystring or in a form variable.
