And I'll be contrary and toss in a "Yes, but ..." (apol: Eric Berne) (as usual, corrections to my notes are welcome) Yes, but you have to do it programmatically. I don't think there's anything in j2ee (or any other web app) interfaces or implementations that handles this, as Phil said, so you have to make it happen by using tokens and hand-written code etc etc. Unless you are progamming a bank's online faciliity or a www air traffic controller, try not to go this way (I've done one - it was fairly easy in retrospect but adds a moderately painful comprehensibility and navigation burden to the app, so I'm not advising it as a first choice). Safer to abide by available technologies and their proper application, as Phil was saying. The Back button and serverside webapps *naturally* clash if you provide no specific code to handle it - *you* have to anticipate that and program around that reality, from as early as possible in the dev cycle. Worse is that the implementation of behaviour of "Back" by different browsers is quite different, some taking the "purely snapshot" view, others taking the "resubmit the url" policy ... so there is great variation in outcomes! Unfortunately a lot of developers coming from passive web page development (where Back works perfectly every time) don't realise that there's a problem until they've completed their first decent size active serverside web app and someone (usually the customer) says "but it breaks if I click *Back*". This question was popped here a week ago ... perhaps we need an auto-responder! Rob
