UrlReferrer issue

[Yoyo]

Hi all!

I am developing an intranet app and have a problem with the
Request.UrlReferrer object.

I use it to keep a "linkstack" of all pages visited on the app to let the
user surf thru pages (the IE toolbar is not visible).

I tested it ok on intranet and internet with win2k clients. The problem
which happens with XP clients is that SOMETIMES the
Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri is nothing, leaving the site clueless on
what to put on the linkstack... Is this a bug, or sometimes UrlReferrer CAN
be nothing (when?). Is there any other way i can track referrer (ie
previous) page visited?

Thanx to anyone will answer

Bye

Hi

There is no guarantee of referrer
[url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/referrer.asp[/url]
also using script to set location will kill referrer

Are you only tracking pages within system... You could use
Request.ServerVariables["SCRIPT_NAME"].toString();
to track user...

Thanx to both for answering,

I solved my problem using

ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") for the page and
ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") for the parameters sent.
