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!

Gary,

not knowing the fix to your problem, but I do know that its better to post
the form to itself, do error checking -> if ok go to next page (with cfmx
even easier with server-side redirects) -> if not ok display form with form
field populated again.

[OT] I want to keep the entered data in NN:form after history.go(-1)


I am racking my brains over the simplest thing, its not web standards as in
CSS but its about browser compatibility.

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.
