A more robust solution might be to save the form data locally. Cookies have already been suggested, but to retain a lot of data I suggest you look into the YUI 2 Storage Utility. It looks like it's tailor made for situations like this...

Thanks, JeevesBond.

Thanks, JeevesBond. Nothing's ever that simple, is it?

I put in a hidden form field (input type=hidden id=tab name=tab) which I populated with the tab number each time a tab was clicked. My routine checks that field, and if it finds a number, it 'clicks' the tab. Happily IE doesn't clear the form contents (though I have a nagging doubt that it will for some users depending on settings..?). Seems to work with all four tested browsers anyway.

Still haven't fixed the random photo thing (innerHTML changes the content of the box) - probably could but can't be bothered as it's way more trivial!

Thanks again, JB, though I'd still be interested if anyone knows a trick.

Thanks for posting a link, I wouldn't have had much of an idea of the problem you're describing without it.

Sadly, I don't believe there is an easy way to fix this. You're going to have to store the active tab in a cookie, then use an if statement to say: if there's an active tab stored in the cookie, show it and hide everything else, otherwise show the default tab and hide everything else.

Shouldn't be too difficult, post again if you get stuck. Good luck.

OK, I'm shy, but if it'll help, here's the offending page!

Main gripe is the 'news' 'fixtures' 'results' tabs - click one and follow a link on it before going back.

Ta!
