Look up the request.servervariables("HTTP_REFERER") variable. You can find more information about it here:

chopstik,
Thanks for your reply but i dont understand how thiis would help me.

what i want to do is suppose that i diplay total of 10 error messages and one of the message is "please refer to handbook for resolvign this error."

so what i want is user should be able to click on handbook and go to the handbook.

Please let me know if i am not clear and i would try to be more specific.

thanks.
 
Ok, sorry, I did misunderstand your original question. You can create a hyperlink using the <a> tag in HTML. For example, something like:
Code:
Please click <a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.handbook.com?page=1">here</a>[/URL]
