how do i display the current URL

hi,
i'd like to know how to display the current URL on the web page as a footer. This seems to be a fairly simple task, but everything i've found on the internet either doesn't work for some reason, or is asp.net specific.
Any suggestions would be great.

cheers

You could combine the SERVER_NAME and URL

something like


<% Response.write( "http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") & Request.ServerVariables("URL") )%>

You could check the PORT variable to find out if it is http or https

This link lists all the server variables


There is another way using server map path or something similar , but I cannot remember the exact code for it.

Hope this is helpful.

thanks yassoor.

its on the right track, but only gives :

http://csiis.leeds.ac.uk/cbxjrs/page1.asp


when i want it to show the full url including extra values, etc :

http://csiis.leeds.ac.uk/cbxjrs/pag...g_id=7#Building

how do i show the rest?

One of the Request serve variables is QUERY_STRING

so it would be something like

Response.write( "http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") & Request.ServerVariables("URL") ) & "?" & Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") ) %>

Read more about those Request.ServerVariables there is alot of info about them .. a simple search on google for "Request.ServerVariables" will return a lot of hits ...


Another path is to use javascript (client side) .. I am sure it would be a lot easier that way.


I hope this is of any help.

Thanks yassoor.

thats a great help
