When values are entered on one of my page I submit the result back to the same page (form action=same_page). Unfortunately each submit adds an entry into the history, so history back doesn't work in a single step. Yet if the count of submits were known I could use goto(n). What's the best way to get this count? PHP or Javascript?

What you're suggesting doesn't sound easy.

I know, but what's a better way to to go back?

Apparently you didn't get/read my post -- try: location.replace('<whatever>'); The location object has two methods: a) reload; b) replace. This is where the back button get's it's value. Replace that value and I think you'll find a solution, or at least that's where I would look. As for how to keep your entries "sticky", then I would look to sessions. tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
