Question

I have a form which sends data to a proccess page. Is it possible when the code in the process page is executed for the browser to jump back to the previous page?

EDIT

The reason i want this, is because i have a set of parameters which contains checkboxes. These parameters are echoed out via a while loop. I have a table where it shows which of those parameters are active. I would like to check the checkboxes by defualt where the corresponding parameter is in the table.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Example ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

PARAMETERS:

T-Shirt:         checked
Distance:      checked

Race:           unchecked

TABLE (parameters)

• T-Shirt

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

the example above checks the box if it already exists in the parameters table. When the user clicks back after the process page, the boxes he selected is checked.

Hope i am clear enough

Regards

I think a nice solution might be to implement a front controller for your webbage, a central script to include the appropirate page. Using a system like that, the user stays on the same page all the time even when other pages are loaded.

I haven’t used a front controller in quite some time, so I won’t write examples due to potential errors and poor coding. You can probably find some examples using google though, I wouldn’t be surprised if the subject has been brought up here on Stackoverflow before either.
