Identify the previous page

[crabgrass]

Suppose page1 and page2 each have a button that loads page3. Is there a way for page3 to determine which of the 2 pages called it so we can then return to the previous page?

not with HTML, XHTML, nor CSS. You would use JavaScript for this. I assume you'd be adding a "back" button or some similar functionality.

Bring this to forum216.

Actually my question was structured wrong. So as to add some clarity, I do not want to return to the previous page. What I want to do is set some variables based on the previous page.

if previouspage = "page1" then
x = 1
else
x=4
end if

Depending on which server-side language you are suing there is such a thing as a Referrer. Which contains the referring address, but this of course falls outside the scope of HTML.

Try a forum for the server side language you are using:

forum434
forum333
forum855
forum232

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
