Getting the querystring out of the HTTP REFERRER

[Smarty]

I have a set of server variables. The HTTP REFERRER is present and I can see what is coming through. In this HTTP REFERRER are a number of arguments in the querystring that i would like to use. Is this possible. These arguments are not present in the current url

I do not understand your question!
You say that you can see what is comming through and that there are a number of arguments in the query string. After that you say that these arguments are not present in the current URL ?????

What is the referrer?

http://www.myweb.com/page.asp?arg1=2225&arg2=hello&arg3=something

If you want to do something with the arguments use the following example

DIM strArg1
DIM strArg2
DIM strArg3

strArg1 = request.querystring("arg1")
strArg2 = request.querystring("arg2")
strArg3 = request.querystring("arg3")

if request.querystring("arg1") <> "" then
response.write(strArg1) & vbCrLF
end if

if request.querystring("arg2") <> "" then
response.write(strArg2) & vbCrLF
end if

if request.querystring("arg3") <> "" then
response.write(strArg3) & vbCrLF
end if

Maybe this helps U further

The referrer address is where the person was, not where they are going (current page).

So say I was at google and searched for "blue cheese" and clicked on a results link to your site. "Blue cheese" would not necessarally be in the querystring linking to your site, but it was part of the address for the page I was previously on.

Ok, so onward to parsing it. Just treat the querystring like a string and parse it out. ie:
1) Do an inStr to find the question mark
2) Do a Mid or Right to get everything after the quesiton mark
3) Do a split on & to break all the name/value pairs into an array
4) loop through and breakdown each name=value in the array.
