I have always just used the history.back action ( e.g., <a href="javascript:history.back()"> ) as part of a hyperlink to return to the previous page, not as a submit action of the form. This seems to work fine in IE, Netscape, and Opera. When you use a submit button, you are either posting data or getting data, that's why it exists. Using a hyperlink reference, you can simply link to the last page instance in your browser's history, which may be static HTML or the results of a CGI call. Worst case scenario is that your browser asks to repost the data and you have to click OK.

I mean, do you want the button to submit the form, or go back? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
