Reading URLs

[Andi B]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if it is possible to store the URL of a browser window as a
variable? For example:

var loc = window.location.href

in JavaScript will store the contents of the address bar as the variable
loc.

Regards and thanks for any assistance,

Andi

Not with serverside Javascript. This is a serverside NG.

Ah! Sorry - I meant to say using ASP - let me re-write that...

Is it possible using ASP to store the URL of a browser window as a variable?

ASP doesn't know what a browser or browser window is. You can get the URL of
the script that is being executed with
Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") and save that in a variable if you
wish.

Not with server-side JavaScript *or* VBScript. And this is still a
server-side group.

Think about it. The browser URL is on the *client*. Not much you can
do on the server with it.
