Working with the Back Button
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
A reader recently asked me how to pass all the user's data when the user presses the back button. Unfortunately, the back button is simply using the browser's caching capabilities. The only data that will be available when the user "backs" up will be the Session variables that may have been set, cookie values that were written to the user's computer, and anything in the page that the user returns to. Anything that was posted to the "next" page will have to be resubmitted and will not be available automatically in the Request collection. Basically, the user is starting the connection over with what is in the page and in Session variables and cookies.
