Alright lets clean the slate here. I think we all mean well and that is what counts. I apologize if I offended anybody. Incidentally I can't quite explain the solution to my dillemma. The following is a description of the Problem and the Solution: Problem: I am running apache/php server. If I populate a form, send it and then click back I see a blank form. Solution: I had some prefilled form elements where I set the value of such form element. For example I had input type = "hidden" VALUE="whatever" ... at the beginning of the form. when I took that hidden variable out and had it at the end of the form after all the other elements I the problem was solved. Actually any element with its value preset should go to the end of the form. In that case when I hit back my form was prefilled the way I submitted it. It is funny I have been doing this for a while and this is the first time I had to investigate such a problem. I am using mozilla 5.00 or netscape 5.0 on linux. I presume explorer wouldn't have that problem. Hope you don't run into this problem and waste few hours pulling hair like I did. Cheers and thanks to everyone who tried to help me. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard http://antispam.yahoo.com/whatsnewfree
