Age Old Question: Back \ Next buttons

Ok.. Im sure you've all seen this question many times, but i havent yet
found a viable solution to this problem..
In my web application, there is a section wher the user must enter data to
be saved in a database .. unfortunately, there is quite alot of data to be
saved and certain input fields are generated according to previously entered
information.. for these reasons, i need more than one page to do this,
besides.. its easier with more than one page.

So what Im working with now is 4 aspx pages. Each has a [Next] button to
obviously goto the next step in the process, but i cant figure out how to
make a [Back] button that still contains the data the user entered. If i
used server.transfer or redirect then it will reload the page and everything
will be blank. ive tried to write my own class to save the data when the
user presses Next and then to reload it from memory On_Load but it doesnt
work.

If anyone has an suggestions or links to some website that does id really
appreciate it. Please reply also to my email, as i dont get to check the
NGs very often.

Thanks

What about using Panels? You can mimic a multi-page process with just one
..aspx page.

For stepping forward and back through a multi-page HTML slide show or seminar presentation, it's a _lot_ more convenient to use arrow keys, or other keyboard shortcuts, rather than mouse clicks on buttons -- especially if the buttons appear at different places on the screen on successive pages, so you have to keep repositioning as well as clicking the pointer. I take it there's no provision for accomplishing this using built-in...

Hi all, Is there any way to make a particular tab have the focus without actually clicking on it? I know there's a On Mouse Move, but if I put in code to have that specific tab receive the focus when the mouse moves over the name, then moving the mouse anywhere on that entire tab (not just it's name) makes the screen flicker. I'm assuming it's making that tab the active one with every move and that's causing the screen flicker. Do I...

www.webmaster, was suggested that this ng could be a better place.] I've updated my test server to handle if-modified-since. I've noticed that the (old copies I run of) IE and Netscape seem never to send if-modified-since. But the strange thing is that Opera sends if-modified-since but when I reply with "HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified" it is not refreshing the screen from its cache, it is leaving the screen blank.

Yes, I know why would I want to create a back button when there is one on the browser? Because that's what the users want! they want a "Previous" button that they can click from any web page in our application that will do the exact same thing as the Back button in the browser. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to do this using VB .Net? I have Googled for "Create Back Button" and found stuff in JavaScript and HTML but nothing in...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
