ensuring form data remains on 'back'

[botsguy]

HI there I have a form where the user enter's some stuff and hits submit. That stuff is then displayed as a table and the user is asked to either confirm that stuff or go 'back' on there browser to edit the form. How can I ensure that the data still remains in the form when the user goes back regardless of users local browser settings.

I was also thinking of having and 'edit' button as well that would mimic the functionality of the browser back button, is there a way to do this (maybe with js?)?

Cheers,

James

You may add the value properties in the <input> tag, something like:

<form name="form1">
<input size="10" name="lastname" value="<? echo $lastname ?>">

once you submitted your form, the $lastname is set  and displayed in the form field and if it's not set,i.e. the first time to load the page, the input box is therefore empty, just like a new form.

You could have your second page pass the variables back to the original page, using a "back" form button. AFAIK, using the browser's back button should display the form with the data still in it provided the page has not expired.
