The way I've done it is either to put the values on to the session object on
the onload page
e.g.
String Mystring=request.getParameter(name of input type from previous
page);
session.putValue("Myname", MyString);
or the other way was using some form of javascript:history.back().
The other part I forgot to mention is that I updated the form data when
hitting each tab.
This was done by having linking them all to the same onlading update page
but using JScript onclick to set a hidden value which is embedded in the
onload link allowing each tab to send to a different place from one page, if
that makes any sense!
good luck
Joe
