"back" button 1

[OhioSteve]

I have a button with the value "back". My intention is to duplicate the action of the "back" button on the toolbar.

I can accurately guess which page they visited last, so that is not a problem. My problem is that when the user presses my "back" button, the previous page appears with EMPTY text boxes. If the user presses the real back button, it restores the previous page AND restores entries in text fields.

How do I fix this problem???

You can do it with Javascript like this:

<input type="button" value="Return to list of Organisations" onClick="history.go(-1);"/>

A slight variation on ChrisHunt's code worked for me~

<input type="button" value="previous page" name="B1" tabindex="540" onclick="history.go(-1)">

Thanks alot! I will give you a star.
