get url of page that linked to your page

[Steve Richter]

How does my asp.net code retrieve the path of the page that linked to
the current page? The equivalent of the "Back" menu option in IE?

thanks,

If Not Request.UrlReferrer Is Nothing Then
originator = Request.UrlReferrer.ToString()
Else
originator = "unknown"
End If

you really do have to check fi it's nothing, 'cuz it often can be (norton
for example strips it...)
