Hi there, here’s my problem.  
I have the whole site pages that might point in anymoment to a map  
page where customer choose the country he belongs to.  
I need to save the url they where before to enter into the map page.  
something link “request.request\_uri” but that works for the previous  
page…  
I thought I’d need something that acts like history.back(); with  
javascript but I need to store that param in session…

how can I do that?!  
thanks 😉
