Don't be sorry, that's not what I meant. The fields are completed by the user, they submit and the cleaned and validated values are put into the session. So when they go back their entered values are displayed. I made sure of it by making sure these pages are never cached.
That issue is resolved. Now the only problem is that when the client completes the cycle blank or default values are entered into the db, whereas the other 4 remote testers have entered the data without issue. On 18/08/06, Richard Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Ah, but some browsers just don't work like that. They assume that the user wants to re-use the values THEY entered, not the ones that were the original default. That's what an <input type="reset" /> was designed for into the HTML spec in the first place, after all. You can get them to switch to a browser that behaves like they expect. You can educate them to understand that their browser is supposed to work that way. You can give them a "reset" form button to put things back the way they were. But you can't change the browser to misbehave from the way that particular browser manufacturer thinks browsers should work. Sorry. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
