When the link has been clicked, put its' id ( or better, the object itself, or its href, or whatever ) in a global variable.

<script type="text/javascript">
var last_link = 0;
function unloading()
{
  if( last_link != 0 ){ ... }
}
function set_last_link( obj )
{
  last_link = obj;
}
</script>

<body onunload="unloading( );">

<a onclick="set_last_link( this ); return true;"/>

You might be better off using a javascript-controlled cookie all throughout the site; ie. on every page onload event, read the last URL from the cookie, do whatever you'd intend do when the previously loaded page was unloaded, then write the current URL to the cookie. That way, whenever the user moves between pages, you can find out where they came from. That's gotta be more useful, and flexible, and I can't think of any situation where that would be less suitable than trying to find out where the user is going.

If it only works in Internet Explorer; it doesn't work.
