Web form to include Previoously visited page -possible?
Currently I have about about 5 different "centralized" forms on our website from which about 50 or so product pages link to for people to request more information. The problem I have is that people view a product page, then click the "Contact Us" button to get to the form. They then leave a message that's very specific to that product WITHOUT mentioning or identifying the product they were talking about. I would like to have the form include the previously viewed page prior to filling out the form. Is that possible? If so, how can I implement something like that? Or is there a better solution I haven't thought of? I know I could create 50 individual forms but that's too much hassle to setup and maintain. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Have u tried using "document.referrer". document.referrer carries the address of the last page visited by the browser.
Assign it's value to a variable in your form. might work...
cheers

Assuming you have product IDs for each product, just pass the contact page the productID in the URL:
[="Courier New"]http://www.whatever.site/contactus.php?product=productID[/]
Then on the contact us page, place it as a hidden input on the form:
[="Courier New"]">[/]
