A WORedirect could also be used to redirect back to the refer.

Mark -
One method is to create a previousPage instance variable on the new =
page, then in the action method that creates the new page do something =
like
=20
- gotoNextPage {
WOComponent *woPage;
woPage =3D [[self application] pageWithName:nextPageName];
[woPage setPreviousPage:self];
return woPage;
}
Then create a back button or link that returns previousPage.
=20
=20
I use the referer when moving to a WOApp from static HTML then back =
to the static HTML page. You can go between apps as well.
=20
On the target app, get the referer (doesn't always exist) from the =
request, do your processing, return result page, then go back to =
referer. I usually use a meta refresh scheme to the users sees the final =
app page, then is automatically returned to the referer.

- init {
[super init];
request =3D [[[self session] context] request];
return self;
}
- (NSString *)referer {
return [request headerForKey:@"referer"];
}
- (NSString *)refreshMetaTagString {
NSString *tempString;
tempString =3D [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<META =
http-equiv=3D\"Refresh\"; content =3D \"5; URL=3D%@\">",[self referer]]; =
return tempString;
