either that or dont hard code the disabled attriubte into the checkbox. Use a JS function to disable it so that when the back button it clicked, it should retain its previous state

You really can't rely on any javascript modified page to contain the correct settings when you use the back button. This is because the Browser will often use a cached version of the page and may refresh the page from the cache when "back" is executed. This is generally why server-side validation is usually done by a self-submitting form - so that the "state" of the form can be carried across and reinitialised correctly if there is an error. The other option would be to use client-side validation and then negate the need for a "back" link. However, you may still need server-side validation in case a form is submitted in another way other than through your client side form.

Hi guys, sorry for the OT, but I'm stumped with this JS problem and I know some of you are gurus with this stuff... I've got a form with a checkbox and some text boxes. Initially the text boxes are disabled, using the code: <input name="full_unc_path_to_server" type="text" value="" size="100" maxlength="255" disabled> ...and, when the checkbox is ticked, it has an onclick action that runs some javascript 'toggle' code to enable the textboxes. This all works absolutely fine. The problem is that, when the user submits the form, and I do some server-side validation of the inputs and find a problem, the user gets an error, and is told to click 'back' (and is presented with a <a href="javascript:history.back(1)"> link) to correct the error. At this point, the form is still displaying the info that they have just entered previous to submitting the form, which is what I want. The problem is that if the checkbox mentioned above was checked before submitting the form, it is checked now; yet the text boxes are disabled. And if you uncheck the checkbox, the text boxes become active, as they're getting the toggle action from the javascript code :) I tried adding the below code to a function called with the body onLoad action, but that doesn't seem to work. function StartPage () { if (document.form1.copied_to_server.checked == true) { ToggleUNC } } Any ideas guys?
