Ancor referer javascript
So I have a page with two ancor elements that link to the same page. I want to know which of the two ancors was clicked when the second page loads with javascript in order to initiate different actions. I know that document.referer exists and that it gives me the uri from where the user came, but i want to know what element he clicked.
thanks!

Maybe add a different query string to the hrefs of the anchors?
