Url typed

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

Re: Url typed

Look at path_info and query_string in ServerVariables.

Re: Url typed

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.

Re: Url typed

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.
