Re: Getting previous URL value into ASP

in order to access history.previous, you need to enable UniversalBrowserRead 
in the privilageManager, but you can only do this in Netscape. this would 
defeat the purpose because netscape has the document.referrer property which 
is the same thing! why not make the form an asp document and get the value 
from that? - Cyanide_7
