One nice thing about ASP is that you can get the URL of the referring page from:
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
This saves you from having to code and send the "source" parameter.

Jim :
Thanks, ASP looks to be the cleanest way to accomplish
this. I'll go that route, but save your code for any
future work.
Thanks,
Jay

Paste this script into the receiving page:
<script>
function qsobj (){
var qvbl;
var qstring = "" + document.location.search.substring(1);
if (qstring != ""){
var qpairs = qstring.split("&");
for (i=0; i < qpairs.length; i++) {
qvbl = qpairs
.split("=");
this["" + qvbl[0]] = unescape(qvbl[1].replace
("+"," "));
}
}
}
function getqsvar(qsvar){
if (qstr[qsvar] == null){
return "";
}else{ return qstr[qsvar];
}
}
var qstr = new qsobj();
</script>
then, if you link to receivingpage.htm?
source=www.oursite.com/pagenameleavingfrom.html&site=www.t h
eirsite.com/pagegoingto.html
<script>document.write('<a href="' +
getqsvar("sorurce") +
'">Stay here</a>');</script>
and
<script>document.write('<a href="' +
getqsvar("site") +
'">Go there</a>');</script>
should create the sites you want.
This is *much* cleaner in ASP or ASP.NET, BTW.

I have an exit page set up on our site to prompt users if
they want to continue off to a 3rd party site or if they
want to stay on our site. I'd like to add 2 parms :
1) source=
www.oursite.com/pagenameleavingfrom.html
2) site=
www.theirsite.com/pagegoingto.html
I need to pass these values into the page. Is there a way
to do this ?
TIA
Jay
