Have a look at the archives, it has just been answered:

Thanks. Strange that two people ask the same question at almost the same time. However I did search the archives and read the answer to the recently posted question and the answers are less than ideal. All answers seem to be of the type "re-populate the form with the data". And of course the POST data as to be put into sessions variables. Seems like a lot of work for a simple thing. Do you agree that the only way is for the form data to be put into session vars and then re-populate the form? Also can you explain to me the technical reasons why the data is not kept when I hit the back button? Thanks for the info! Jc
