Any guidance would be > appreciated... thanks! You have three obvious options. I'm sure there are others. 1. Use a session-based form, and then just use a link back to the form display. (Remember to remove the form from the session when you're done, just to keep things tidy). 2. Create a link back to your form display and put every form field value into the URL parameters. Something like: <a href="/myform.do?firstName=Chris&lastName=Becker&gender=M&...">edit</a> 3. Use a form to POST back to the original for display: <form action="/myform.do"> <input type="hidden" name="firstName" value="Chris" /> <input type="hidden" name="LastName" value="Becker" /> <input type="hidden" name="gender" value="M" /> ... <input type="submit" value="Edit" /> </form> Of course, 2 and 3 Are really the same technique done in different ways. If you have a lot of form elements, you might want to use the form-based solution to avoid URLs that are potentially too long for the server (or just ugly to you).
