I don't want to have any javascript in the page or anything, I want it to be all PyCherry doing this.

I'm thinking there's something in pycherry.request to get the referring url. I need it so I can know which page to send them back to.

Thanks in advance.

Off the top of my head, I believe that the referer is specified in a header, so

(Toggle Plain Text)

cherrypy.request.headers['Referer']

might work. Though be careful; a referer isn't always specified.

(Toggle Plain Text)

cherrypy.request.headerMap['Referer']

lol. Thanks though, it helps to know where to look. =]

And its not always correct.

I also found an excellent snippet for figuring out if the paramaters were GET or POST data. I can make good use of that. *thumbs up*
