ken, that could be a way. but you should be careful when you have a lot of form-input. sometimes, you're url is getting too long (not sure how long it CAN be...).

If I'm not mistaken couldn't you just change the method on the forms to "Get" then all of the values would be part of the form url, and there for be embedded into the url in the browser's history.
Not 100% sure on it of course...not 100% sure of anything these dayz...but thats my shot at it.

I suppose that you can do it by making the javascript got o the "history.back(-1)" that should save it all when they come back...
make a link point to
javascript:history.back(-1)
and that should do the trick.

Retaining user-entered values in forms

I am currently storing the information in a database. I know this is not practical since users might return to a previous page and change the information they entered.

How will I be able to let users view the information they entered when they return to previous pages without using a database to temporarily store the information they entered (using ASP or JavaScript)?

How are you storing the info once submited on the previous pages?
