I've tried to use this script in Chilisoft ASP, but cannot get querystring or HTTP_REFERER to return the name of the page that the browser was looking for... Any ideas?

Any ideas?

When really, they probably haven't. Not that I necessarily think that my <a href="http://www.tastypopsicle.com/404.asp" target="_blank">ASP 404</a> is better - it's just a different way to do it that some of your visitors may also find useful.
