Essentially, you're looking for a (browser-neutral) way to maintain form input values between page clicks, especially for users clicking the "back" button. Is that correct? If so: 1/ Use session variables to hold the data. 2/ The Struts framework does a lot of this for you, at the expense of the learning curve. It's a toss-up between that, and designing your own framework for this purpose. 3/ This question isn't really a Tomcat issue. A general Java (servlets, JSP) forum may have more answers for you. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
