SSI (Server Side Include) *might* be able to do it, and doesn't really quality as a scripting language in my book. You could use JavaScript to go "back", which is client-side, not server-side. The HTTP_REFERER is actually an encvironment variable set by the web-server (or not, if configured that way) I think, so you don't really need a whole full-blown scripting language to get it, technically... Though who or what may have provided just Environment variables, I dunno... -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
