history.back

[sam2018]

Hi,

I have used window.history.back() and it successfully redirects to page I wanted but that page is refreshed. I need to regain the original values posted in that page. How can I accomplish that ?

Thanks

Try Following:

window.history.back(-1)

yep, i had already tried that. But the page is still refreshed

That's strange as I am using both of them:

<a href="javascript: window.history.back(-1)">Back</a>
<a href="javascript: window.history.back()">Back</a>

And they are working fine for me.

Can I see your URL Please?

may be the information is not stored in cookie.

I m using rapyd framework
Back url is :http://localhost/xxxx/rapyd/sponsorform/commitment/1

The code is like:
$action = "javascript:window.history.back(-1)";
$form->button("btn_back", "Go Back", $action, "BL");

You don't need -1 with back since back always goes back exactly one page. To go back two pages you'd use go(-2) instead.

Whether a browser retains values for past pages or not depends on the browser. If you want all browsers to save the data then save it in a cookie while you are on that page the first time.
