Capturing the whole URL

[steel_quill]

I am working with a site where I want a user to be able to select whether they
are viewing a high or low bandwidth version of the website. I would like to
build the pages so that when the user chooses to change the bandwidth, they are
taken to a page with a form on it where they make the change, and when the form
is submitted, they are returned to the page they were last on.

In order to do this, I need to capture the url of the page they are on when
they choose to change the bandwidth in order to send them back to it later.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to do this? I have been nosing around the
internet and can find plenty of information about how to pass variables in the
url, but not about how to capture the entire url itself. I am working in DW MX
and using ASP.

Thanks!

I always wondered what this line that DW is inserting (in Javascript) does:

var MM_editAction = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME");

Isn't that turning out the url of the current page ?

Try it out. HTH

Dim strPage 'the current page, i.e., /clients/default.asp
Dim strQS 'the querystring (if any)
Dim strURL 'the current page + any URL params
With Request
strPage = .ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
strQS = .ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
End With
strURL = strPage & "?" & strQS
