Url typed

[Martin Walke]

Hi all,

I have a application that runs an asp page launched by an onunload event of
a page. If the user types a URL into the address line of the browser, i need
to be able to redirect him to that page once i've finished with my onunload
script. Is there a variable/property that lets me get hold of that typed
UTL?

TIA
Martin

Look at path_info and query_string in ServerVariables.

Thanks Bob. That unfortunately gives me the URL of the page i've loaded due
to the unload event (in my case called, abandon.asp). I need the page name
of teh URL typed by the user that causes the unload event to fire.

I doubt it, but you should verify by posting to a client-side scripting
group such as .scripting.jscript.
I'm thinking the address that triggers the onunload event is not visible
to the DOM until the new page loads into the browser.

Good thought Bob.

Thanks for replying. Hadn't thought of grabbing the URL *before* passing
control to my ASP page. I'll give the group a try.
