how to get the url from wher the current page came?
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
gives that but when there is
<a href = # onclick = "url">link</a>
it doesnt work.
in this case how to get that url from wher this page has come?

Are you saying this syntax works?

;;;<a href = # onclick = "url">link</a>

What are you tring to achieve?
Are you aware what the purpose of <a href="#" ...> is used for?

Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") returns the URL that referred a visitor to your server.
If you use Response.Redirect, HTTP_REFERER will be empty.

You may want to consider employing a pre-made component for tracking the link usage / site statistics.

Here's a script that will allow you to track internal link usage.

;;;Once a visitor is on your server, HTTP_REFERER will not return the URL a visitor selects.
Are you sure about this?

What is wrong with Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"):

HTTP_REFERER Returns a string containing the URL of the page that referred the request to the current page using an <a> tag. If the page is redirected, HTTP_REFERER is empty:

You're right, Mat41...

Thanks for clarifying that... :)

I was thinking about the case after a Response.Redirect...
