Greetings,
Just wondering if someone out there can help with this issue.
I have a questionnaire that i'm building. Each step is a separate web page with a form and a next button & back button, similar to a wizard.
What i would like to do is to make sure that all the information on the form gets retained. i'm doing this via asp & session cookies. So when the user clicks the next button, the form info is submitted and put into session cookies. if the page is redisplayed for whatever reason, the form will be pre-filled out with the user's input. No problem there.
My issue is that if the user clicks on the Back button, i would like the information to be stored as well. SO i have one form, 1 set of input that needs to be stored in session cookies, but two buttons. One that saves the input and takes the user to the next step, and the other that saves the input and sends the user back one step.
Any ideas?
thx,
yt

Have the page to which the form submits save the data from the current
page, check which button was clicked, and then redirect to the
appropriate new page.

How often will users want to go back? A questionnaire is not a wizard.
Besides, what does "going back" mean here? Something else than using a
Back button?
Unless there are special reasons to provide some special "back"
functionality, I'm sure that the "back" button confuses more than helps.

the form gets retained. i'm doing this via asp & session cookies.
Session cookies are not reliable. Besides, to make your site legal in the
EU, you would need to have a description of the use of cookies on it, and
this means extra work. (It's hard to describe the use in a manner that is
legally acceptable _and_ understandable _and_ does not make people
unnecessarily nervous.)
Using hidden fields is probably a better way. Make the script that
generates the first form generate and include a session id like
<input type="hidden" name="session" value="13894725 76148">
and make further processing copy the field to new forms generated.
My issue is that if the user clicks on the Back button, i would like
the information to be stored as well.
You haven't specified what the "Back button" is, and does. And why should
the information be stored if the user wants to go _back_?
You could use different name attributes, or different value attributes,
or both, in the buttons, just as the FAQ says, in order to distinguish
between them in the form handler. But this doesn't work reliably on
current browsers if there are text input fields in the form, since
browsers may treat Enter in a text input field as a request to submit the
form _as if_ one of the buttons had been used - and browsers may differ
in interpreting which of the buttons should be simulated.

A couple of commercial sites I've found so far which tried to do that,
would not allow me to read the cookie policy until after I'd accepted
a cookie. Some mistake, surely?

Windows Forms Inheritance, Incomplete?
I was playing around with Windows Forms
and found out this Forms Inheritance feature.
The moment I saw that, I felt this can be
used effectively if the application
contains couople of forms which have
a consistant look and also shares
SOME similar functionality between the forms.

the form is created. But, if I don't use the XP style the images show on my

how to get around it? Here is how I'm calling...

Hi,
I've created a series of navigation buttons to be used as a standard across
many forms in an Access DB. Does anyone know an easy way to cut and paste
these navigation buttons into each new form I create. Re-creating them is
VERY Painful and regular cut and paste doesn't work. I've read something
about making a standard module for each button but I don't know how to
assign that to the new buttons on each form. Help.... :(

Hi all
This may seems like an od subject.
I would like to know if you can apply some sort of "stylesheet" to winforms?
like in ASP.NET you can define .css files to determine your look and feel of
your HTML web pages. the obvious advantage of using HTML stylesheets is that
all your buttons, drop downs, etc all look the same. As well as if you wish
to change something to the general look and feel of the web site, you could
just change the...

Hello,
I have a main form that is maximized when my application loads; this
main form contains links to all other forms. I've had to specify the
Popup property of these other forms, so that they are not maximized
when they load. Unfortunately, this seems to have had the consequence
of removing them from the Windows taskbar, which makes navigating
between open forms more difficult.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
