[Guest]

Hi,
I would like to know how can I get the page name before the current page?

Thanks

Maintain the state of you application in a separate object, a reference to
which is stored in the Session. Every time you leave a page, store its
identifier in the state object. Retrieve the identifier in the page load of
the page the user has navigated to.

Try

request.servervariables("http_referer")

request.servervariables("http_referer")

*Very* unreliable...

absolutely......lol

......but it is the only way if you want to track a client who is not coming
from a page in your application already, where you can track using cookies,
sessions or any othre state holder

.... but to do so would give such wildly inaccurate statistics that it's
almost not worth bothering with:

Almost as pointless as tracking IP addresses...

I do agree, and you were certainly right to point it out.

I think the best you can use it for is an indicator - taken with a pinch of
salt.
