I have a javascript history object (javascript:history.go(-1)) that
goes back to previous page when I trigger a button event to go back to
that last page :
<form action="javascript:history.go(-1)" method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="yes" name="awc" id="awc">
<input type="submit" value="BACK">
</form>

...but doing a test to response write to see if it's posting to the
previous page:
if request.form("awc") = "yes" then
response.write "yes "'
end if

....I do not see the "yes" displayed. wondering if combining this
javascript object with this simple ASP is valid, tho it looks like it
should be. Even doing method="get" , I don't get my "yes" display :-(

??

Your page won't submit the form data, as your using Javascript to
effectively press the back button. I would use a session variable on the
previous page, call it previous page. Define it as
Request.ServerVariable("SCRIPT_NAME"), then set your action to your form
as the session variable.

Or the ALT-LeftArrow.

Well, you'll get more people looking at them if you post them to relevant
newsgroups. Client-side questions should be asked at .scripting.jscript or
comp.lang.javascript.
