Hi,
Thanks for responding. I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If you mean
grab the Referer header, that isn't working (and I thought that only
worked when you clicked on a link on some page that took you to the
current page). getHeader("Referer") is returning null after a
redirect. I thought there was some way to figure out what the original
location was after a redirect? Do you, or does anyone know what it is?
Thanks,
David
