html form - users can't go back

[derek mcgilvray]

Hi,

I have a form on my page for users to search from.

The results pop up on the results page and users may click a link to go to an external page.

The problem is, sometimes they want to come back to the results page, but can't without refreshing.

What is the best way to achieve what I want without making the user refresh manually?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Usually this is done by having the form they fill out submit to a processing page, and once that page is finished processing their input, that processing page will then redirect to the results page. This way, if they go back to the results page, they technically will not be re-submitting any POSTed data, but rather just viewing the results page again.

Thanks for your help.

I was trying out a self submitting form, and thought that may be the issue, when in fact it was my use of session data - and I found that by using your msg as a prompt.

Thanks
