Variable which can detect which webpage do you came from

Hie Experts....

In ASP, is there any server variables which can detect previously where do u came from?...example as below:

You are in first.asp and there is a link to second.asp. And in second.asp, it can detect that you are from first.asp.

If in third.asp also have a link to second.asp and you came to second.asp through third.asp, in second.asp 's server variable can detect you came from third.asp.

Is there any server varibales or any method that can detect previously you are visiting a page before came to the current page?

Thanx Experts.....hope that i can get the feedback ASAP!!

Cheers,
Jimmy

<% Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>

This will show the page you got to this page from. If you clicked a link and got to the current page, there will be something there. If you typed in the URL, it will be blank.

Yeah....this line "<% Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>" i put it in second.asp. so whenever first.asp or third.asp came...it still return blank to me.
Any idea???

Look at the Javascript property referrer;

referrer Property

If a destination document is reached by a user clicking on a Link object in another document (the referrer), this property returns the referring document's URL.

Syntax: document.referrer

<script language="Javascript">

</script>
