I am using a popup box to confirm that a form has been processed (send email with link to the page to a friend_, but I want the user to be returned to the original page after they have pressed the OK on the popup box:

dim site
site=request.servervariables("http_referer")

response.write "<script>alert('email sent!');location.href='http://www.agni-travel.com'</script>"
response.end

I need to change the location.href to reflect the 'site' varaible, but however I add it I get a error or sent off onto a while page!

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Nathan

Gullanian - thanks for your help - that is what I am after. ave tried all sorts of combinations!

Your suggestion:

site=" http://www.agni-travel.com/enquire.htm - http://www.agni-travel.com/enquire.htm "

response.write "<script>alert('email sent!');location.href='&site&'</script>"

response.end

Doesn't work though - I get redirected to:

http://www.agni.gr/scripts/email/&site - http://www.agni.gr/scripts/email/&site &

There must be an easy solution!

PS sorry MZ, I was not very clear in defining my problem.

Thats because you didn't use what Gullanian wrote.

Check your quotes around the &site& variable. Copy EXACTLY what Gullanian had.

Cheers,
Andrew

Brilliant,

Thanks Andrew - I am afraid - my eye-sight isn't so good anymore - too many years looking at this bloody screen!

Thanks Gullian for the correct solution.

Cheers - pop by the Taverna anytime for a beer.
