How2 save site entry URL

[Larry]

I would like to save the url of the site a visitor was at when they
elected to visit me so that they can be returned to their origin on exit
from my site. I am presuming I can save the info in a cookie on entry
and then on exit from my site send the visitor back where they came from
[as they possibly may not leave from the same page/website where they
entered originally].
i.e. OnPageEntry if exit.url set then ignore, else save origin url as
exit.url.
OnPageExit if exit.url set then delete cookie and goto. [when not
set is a new window]
What I can't find is the appropriate cookie parameter to save in the
cookie. Can someone point me to a url that has the parameters that can
be used for cookie data or advise which parameter name to save?
There has to be a way to access the data since all browsers back feature
has the previous site url info.

You could catch referrer with ASP or PHP and save it in a cookie.
But don't bother because:

1. Most of the time they don't want to go back to the page they came
from.
2. The rest of the time they will either have opened your page in a new
browser window or know how to use the browsers Back button.
