Late input on this, but... DON'T!
Having a "Back" to the form is the ugliest form of validation and also the
laziest
If you're running on a secure connection and the user has their browser as I
have mine set-up (don't store secure pages in cache) then you have to
re-type the whole form... how many users will you lose to this?
Re-present the form with their entries and hilight the ones that are wrong
I'm in the midst of working on a "public" version of an editor I wrote which
will do all of the validation for you, and put the info into a database (as
well as displaying/sorting lists) - if you can wait a few days, I'll send
you something to look at...
