Hyperlink to Previous Page

[avaffa]

I would like for users to click on a hyperlink to take them to the previous page instead of having to click the "Back" button in their browser. What code do I use for this? Also, I would like all info typed in any text boxes to remain on the previous page when the user goes back. Thanks!

That type of task should never be done on the server. IT's really just a waist of resources.

use client scripting for it.
e.g.
History.Go()
or
History.Back()

but the referer server variable will give it to you if absolutely needed.

the second question can be solved with a resubmission of forms (hidden when needed) or by setting teh expiration of the page to greater lengths so the object values are retained
