You really should ask the question on a javascript group, but here's the
answer. Use the location object.
<A HREF="#" ONCLICK="self.location.href = 'emailform.cfm?MyURL=' +
scape( location.href )">go to my email form</A>
There you go.
Of course you still face the issue of no javascript on the person's browser.
In that case you would print out the above in javascript too. This way
people without javascript or who have it turned off won't even see the
option.
Of course if you're using something like IIS or Netscape, you can use the
other server-side scripting available to you.
