texte = > On your invoice page have it submit to itself, then have 2 submit buttons. > Using variable in the submit button, redirect the user to either the > thankyou page or back to the shopping cart.I hate the back button thingy, because no matter what we think, they'll almost always choose the back button in their browser first.I use cookies to maintain the cart across all pages, and [replace db=some.db&searchcriteria&append=T] any formvariables to a database. That way, on their first visit they fill out a form with all their billing and shipping info, and from then on I can automatically fill it in for them on their return visit.Then, on the final invoice page I pull their data into a form, and they can edit it there before submitting it for purchase.No muss, no fuss, but it does rely on cookies....
