back page problem in netscape

[missplume]

I have a simple cgi form that has a missing field page in case my visitors forget to fill in essential fields. On the missing field page, I am using
<A href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;history.go(-1)&quot;>go back</A>
I have also tried
<A href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;window.history.go(-1)&quot;>go back</A>

so they can go back to what they have already filled and add what's missing. Works fine in IE.
2 problems with netscape 6:
1. I have to click on my &quot;back&quot; link at least 3 times before it works
2. when it finally works, the form has been reset and all information I had put in is gone.

This is a lengthy form and that kind of stuff will discourage my visitors.
Thanks!

I solved the first problem with
<A href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;window.history.back()&quot;>go back</A>
I still have the same problem with the page resetting in netscape
