I am trying to convert this line of ASP code into my aspx.cs page so that when the user clicks on the RETRY button on the web page it goes back to the last page they were on:

strHTTP = trim(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"))

<input Type="Button" Value="Retry" Name="Retry" onClick="window.location='<%=strHTTP%>'">

How do I do the same thing in my .aspx page?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

I am trying to understand: Is server variables really need for this situation. Can't we directly use javascript and move to previous page!

Something like, history.back() or history.go(-1)

Thanks for the reply however I am getting a compilation error stating the following:

CS0117: 'ASP.errorhandle_aspx' does not contain a definition for 'history'

<td align="center">
Line 42: <asp:Button ID="retryButton" Runat="server" Text="Retry" onClick="history.back()"></asp:Button><br>
Line 43: <br>
Line 44: </td>

Do I need to create a JS function? Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

Hi,

Use the following code :

onClick="javascript:history.back()"



Hope It Helps !!
