Cancel Button

[DoubleDee]

Okay, probably a super dumb question here...

I have a Form which allows logged in Users to change their User Details. At the bottom of the Form is a "Change Details" button which saves the data.

Programatically, how do I make a "Cancel" button work so their original data reappears and everything is back to normal??

Is it the same conceptually as a "Cancel" button?

Reset, errmm, resets the form to the values it had on page load. i.e. before the form gets submitted.

I guess it depends on where you want to change the values.

If after they submit, and on a "preview" page (before a database/filewrite commit) you could just send them back to the form.

If after a database/filewrite commit you need to save the previous values so they can be re-entered.
