numero = 36202
interpreted = N
texte = I've had good luck in both Communicator and MSIE 4.5/5.0 on the MacOS using the history javascript as a Go Back link. I don't know how it will differ from the browser's back button though as it relies on cached data. But you might want to give it a try.Try pasting this in where you want the Go back link to appear:
Go Back
Change the font specs to whatever you want. I've used this and the cart and form data typed in on a previous page seems to always be re-displayed in any MacOS browser I've tried. However, on my invoice.tpl page, if you submit the order, any order-filled out or not, it takes you to thankyou.tpl. But once that has happened you are unable to resubmit that cart number so having the form/cart data show up would be moot in this situation. I don't know how your site is structured but if the cart is being converted into an order file, this may not work anyway. Still, it makes a great back button.-- Mike M, Webmanager Autobulbdepot.com Web Site: http://www.autobulbdepot.com E-Mail: webmanager@autobulbdepot.com > From: mazher malik
