you need all the buttons to be form submits with the form values carried back and forth in javascript lot of work but solves these problem

Ajax, what is that, a jumble of loads of different scripting languages all chucked in together

That's not the case - IE is sh1te when it comes to remembering forms values when going back: think they expire from cache very quickly or something like this, where as FireFox is solid in this respect.

Must agree that FF is much the better browser (except it crashes after opening and closing a large number of tabs. oh, and sometimes after viewing large PDF docs).

The add ons are excellent tho.

Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank you know who you are.

Thank you.

Browser issue? Clicking back should take you back to the form with the form fields filled in from the POST data.

It's a shabby way of doing it though. They should redisplay the form, complete with your entered data, and an error message within the form.

Lazy coders!
