what about the requesting url and storing it in the url after a ?url=[the
url you just grabbed]
Then in other page, use request.querystring to grab that url for directing
back to the first page?

The best way to do this, is to capture the page they just came from, rather
than the page they are on.
The shopping cart page can use:
<% =Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>
This will capture the page that the user was on just before they arrived at
the cart.
Hope this helps,
Craig.

You'll need to do this by either appending information about where the user
is coming from to the querystring(ugly) or tracking this information in
hidden fields on your forms.

Unfortunately, you can't always depend on HTTP_REFERER. I've seen many
instances where this is not passed. Also, I don't believe that this would
include querystring information if the user is coming from a dynamically
generated page.
