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.
