Hi,
Easy way I am not sure. You may do it using Javascript at the client end
(assuming it is enabled) or cgi at the server end or Server Side Includes
as the example from Chritopher Mills shows.
Sorry no offers of code. Javascript may be the easiest way if you do
not know enough about the configuration of your server. I can see
one or two different ways of doing the job from the server end.
The principle is simple, you get the referrer_URL and place it as a
button or ... whatever you decide to do on the page in question.
All in all I would be tempted to agree with some of the other comments
that it is not worth doing.
Regards
Charles
