Sensing the users location 2

[bgreenhouse]

Hi Everyone

Is there any way in ASP to tell what page a user is on? I have an .inc file that is a anvbar consisting of drop down menus. I want to make the option selected be dependent (obviously) on whatever page you are on. I want to do something like:

<%if <location> = 1stpage.asp then%>
<option value=1stpage selected>1st Page<option>
<%else%>
<option value=1stpage>1st Page<option>
<%end if%>
etc. etc.

But I don't know how to determine <location>. This must be easy. I tried REsponse.QueryString(&quot;URL&quot, but that didn't work. Anyone?

put a hidden field on every form.

eg:

<input type=hidden name=fLocation value=1stpage>

Hi Gerard

Thanks for that input. The problem is that the form is in an .inc file that I include in every page, so I'd have to end the form on each page, with the addition of the hidden field. Actually, I suppose that might work...

a VBscript solution would still be interesting to me...

use
Request.ServerVariables(&quot;SCRIPT_NAME&quot

this will return the script path starting from the root.

for the full list of server variables, go here:

hope this helps
