[RESOLVED] Am I going mad simple things are now hard

[ade234uk]

I am doing a simple webform and checking for empty fields. If the field is left empty then the user clicks the link to send them back using the javacript back function.

However for some reason if the form keeps clearing itself in Firefox, but not in IE. So bizzare.

The form is self submitting form. All the code is on one .php page.

Why is it sometimes the most simplest things you cant do anymore lol.

code? can we see what you have so far?

[scrupul0us]

ie might intuitively keep form value fields or you might have some sort of plugins...

the bet way to maintain form values is the pass the post vars back into the form when it gets rejected...

I did what one of the other posters suggested and posted the variables back to the form through a url

For example if the user missed out their first name, but filled in the surname, the page would ask them to fill in their first name.

A link back would be provided back to the form
The url would look like this following on the page if a user looked at the source code

<a href="form.php?name=&surname=phpbuilder">Click here to go back</a>

So when the user clicks back the input field surname would show phpbuilder

The .php code would be

<a href="form.php?name=<? echo $first_name; ?>&surname=<? echo $surname; ?>">Click here to go back</a>
