Guess you could figure out what it is that you want saved and put that into a GET URL. There's no way to exactly mimic hitting the "Back" button... Except maybe JavaScript.... <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript> document.location=history(-1); </SCRIPT> or something like that. -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
