Hopefully someone can help me out, I've not been able to find an answer to this question.

When a user on my site proceeds forward (say from page 3 to page 4), I have a bunch of Session variables that are set on page 4, from the values in the form on page 3. But if that user needs/wants to go back to page 3, I have some Java Script that fires on page 3's load that displays certain fields depending on a value that is stored in the Session variables. But when the user hits the Back button, those Session variables are not getting passed to the Java Script, they are just blank. Here's how I'm passing the variables:

Response.Write("<script language=""javascript"">checkPayment('" & Session("School") & "', '" & Session("CC") & "');</script>")

When I do an alert(); statement in the Java Script function on these variables, I just get "None".

Any ideas?

Hi there,

You may want to add this to the top of page 3:

<%
  Response.Expires = 0
  Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 100
  Response.AddHeader "pragma","no-cache"
  Response.AddHeader "cache-control", "private"
  Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
%>

This forces the browser to get a new version of the page from the server every time it's requested, including loading the page from a browser's Back button click.

HtH,

Imar
