How to know the address of the webpage from which <a href="present page"> was clicked?

I have a login.asp page. Whenever the session expires, the user is given a link to the login page to log in. After logging in, users need to go back to the original page from which the link was clicked. How do I get the address of that webpage?

There is a property of the document object called referrer

For example link to your website was clicked from http://example.com, you can use document.referrer to get http://example.com

Ref - https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_doc_referrer.asp

You could redirect him to

/login.asp?next=url-of-where-the-user-tried-to-go

Once he logs in, redirect him to the parameter next. This is extremely common.

You have to grab the referrer when the user is redirected to the login page. Store that and redirected the user back after the login process.
