I have one product per page. The user clicks "Contact Us" if they are interested, which directs them to our form. They assume I know which product they are interested in sometimes. Is there a way to know which URL they came from last?

Unfortunately, this is not possible without some server side scripting or javascript. If your server is capable of doing PHP you could enter a 'value' parameter into the text box asking which product they are interested in that would automatically post the previous URL to it. The code would look something like this:

Your existing text box should be similar to:
Code:
<input name="q[1]" type="text" value="" size="20" maxlength="150" />


The PHP code you'll add to a 'value parameter':
Code:
value="<?php echo "$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']"; ?>"


Put together, it would look something like this:
Code:
<input name="q[1]" type="text" value="" size="20" maxlength="150" value="<?php echo "$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']"; ?>" />


This should do the trick if your server is capable or doing PHP.
