Mirco, What I do is (in a JavaScript function):
window.location = "<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>?<?= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] ?>"; and then populate the fields this way: <input type="text" value="<?= $_GET['thefield'] ?>"> or <textarea><?= $_GET['thearea'] ?></textarea> HTH -- Un gran saludo/Big regards...
