Nothing wrong with Ajax, better than that poncy Mr Muscle stuff.

[milanbenes]

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

There's no excuse for this..
You just write the values in Commarea or to a TS, fill the screen and do a Send Map

So does IE. So does every browser I've ever used.

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.

Use Firefox - it caches forms entry data (apart from password), beats IE sh1t big time.

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.

That was version 1. He migrated to a SAS back-end in the current version.

Can you please stop making websites where I fill in a VERY long online form asking me everything there is possible to ask, making me click submit and then telling me something is wrong with the value in one of the fields, asking me to click a back button, only to be confronted by a fecking completely blank form.



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!
