backbutton to search results 1

[miketm]

Hi, could someone please help me with some tips on how to create a link back to search results, as once you searched a database and displayed the results, then you clicked and selected a record from that result page which pop to a "new page", but then I would like to select another record so I need a LINK on that "new page" to return to search results page. How can we do that??? Thank you for your help!

You can create a link like this:
<a href="javascript:history.back()">Back</a>
but that relies on the browser supporting JS.

What I do, which is slightly more work, is save the posted variables from the search page in a session and when they go back to the search page, I repopulate their last search.

Thank you very much Ericbrunson, It works beautifully.
I used the javascript that you suggested, as my skills in php still weak so otherway of doing it scared me very much (no ideas)!!!

Thanks!!!
