I could ball sh** you all now, but I am in a good mood and will tell the truth and �may it set me free!�.
I�ve actually found the problem, now and it seems I have been using a hack that does not function in NN for some time <slap round wrist for me /> I was nesting the <from> and </form> tags in between the <table></table> and <tr></tr> tags respectively so that the form did not add any carriage returns or other formatting to the page, as it was on line in the code that could not be rendered. This was causing the NN to just not fill in the fields with the previously entered data. Simple really write correct code and the browser will do the correct thing, hack and expect anything to happen. Lesson 1 of many I will learn today!

Using Netscape if I fill in the form submit it and get to an error page then click back or a link with history.back() or history.go(-1) the data I entered in the form is not maintained. Google manage to maintain it. I seem to remember a fix for this, but can't locate it now. Anyone have any thoughts.
