return url value

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I have a page (page X) where I want to have a "Return" button and that takes
it back to the previous page (page A) - the one (page A) that linked to this
page (page X).

Is there an easy way to get the url of page A when page X first loads?

Hi dave,

Thanks for your post!

Normally, this is controlled by client side javascript code. We can use
history.go(-1) statement to implement go back function. Like below:
<script>
function goback() {
history.go(-1);
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:goback()">Back</a>

Hope this helps!

Hi;

I have a situation like the login page where I may have to go to a second
page before I go back. Is there a way to get the url?

I usually manage this scenario programmatically in my applications where i
maintain a session variable, e.g. Session["ReturnToURL"], which can be set by
each page before redirecting the response to the next page. Then any page
can use that variable when the user hits return to go back to the previous
page.

Hi;

I've got it implemented where it looks for file.aspx?returnurl=orig.aspx and
that is working nicely. I just wondered if that was already a session
variable somewhere set by ASP.

This works for me:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
' Save the referrer Url
ViewState("ReferrerUrl") = Request.UrlReferrer.ToString()
End If
End Sub

Protected Sub BackButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)

Response.Redirect(ViewState("ReferrerUrl").ToString())

End Sub
