keeping textbox values on previous pages

[xenomage]

Hi all,

has this problem.

i have a page that does a form submit and after submiting, i want to give the option to the user to click on back which i will use "javascript:history.back();" to get back to the previous page. Here comes the problem, i want the browser to retain the values previously enter in the textboxes. any ideas??

my page header contains the following lines.

Response.Buffer = TRUE
Response.expires = 10
Response.cacheControl = "no-cache"

any help is welcome and appreciated. THANKS!!!

use a session variable
Session("YourVar&quot = TextboxName

I'm a VBScript guy so I don't know the syntax for Java.
But here is VBScript code
<%
session(&quot;Invoice&quot = LastInvoiceNum
' or passing a session back to a Database field
' open your database here
fp_rs2(&quot;InvoiceNum&quot= session(&quot;Invoice&quot
%>

This will keep data in a variable as long as the person remains on your site.

Thanks alot DougP!!!

but i really am looking for a less painless way to to it.
Hoping that there is a way to ask the browser to remember the value by default..Thanks anyway..
