when filling the webform and use back button

[nagasea]

How come when user fill the form, then they forget to fill some field, and then they click back button all the information is missing.
is there any way to prevent that problem ?

thanks

Do you have some sort of no-cache headers or meta tags on there?

[nagasea]

no i dont have that one, how to use that ?

[Madwacker]

Use this instead

<A HREF="javascript:history.back()"> Click here to go BACK</a>

then you won't get the "Warning: Page Expired" error...

Err that above post will help too, but I misread.

Sounds like you are not posting the data back into your fields:

<input name="txtBox" type="text" value="<?php echo "$data"; ?>">

That way when you post to the page (I'm assuming you're using PHP_SELF) and it craps out on you, the data will be put back into the fields so the user doesn't have to re-enter it.

nope im not using phpmyself on that webpage form.
it's using other file in the form.

so do i need to recreate the form again in that action page ?

I thought there's other easy way to tackle this problem..

Check your form in the same file that the form is in. Then use
<input type="text" name="somename" value="<? Echo("$_POST['somename']"); ?>">

This way if there was an error processing the form the post info was saved and is now displayed cause the info was already entered.
