I have three select tag; two are populated by Javascript/AJAX. The problem is that IE (7, 8) and Chrome back button doesn’t recover submitted form data (it works OK in Firefox). Is there any way fix that, please?
 
Hi

Better do not count on the browser's behavior.

Do it like on Tek-Tips : when the user wants to modify its post after previewing it, there is an "Edit Post" [tt]form[/tt] button which takes the user to a newer page with the [tt]form[/tt] re-populated as it was earlier.

This is a predictable way. Relying on the browser's back functionality is not.


Feherke.
