I am trying to imporve a web application that my group uses.
Basically there are 3 forms that work together Form 1 > form 2
Form 1 - searchs for enterend values
Form 2 - returns search results, letting you individually select any item
Form 3 - lets you edit a specific individual item
I want to make a link on the Form 3 that returns you to form Form 2
basically a "Back to Search results" link.
I'm thinking that there is a way to pass the query string, but I am a newbie
and I'm not sure that I am going about this the right way.
Anyone have any advice or knowledge to share?
I would personally just use the back button. Isn't that what it is there for?
But seriously, if you changed the method on Form 1 to use get instead of post, you could then just
have a button that sends you back 1 in your history, or 2 in this case.

Actually wait, it would be 3
form 1 -> results -> edit -> save changes ->\
\------------------------------/
hope the format is correct on my ascii art :)
nope, now that I read it again, it is only 2 back in the history
So something like this for the back button
<a href="javascript:history.go(-2);">Return to search results</a>
That should do
GUIDE LINES FOR USE OF METHOD in forms
POST Only use post when you are submitting a form
that will change the data that you are submitting
GET Use this for forms that do not change get, but
only retrieve data.
