Just use an ordinary link, and if you must, you can style it like a
button.

Just do a link back to the forms url......means the user will loose all
their inputted data. However, you could advise them to use their browsers
'back' button. This would maintain the inputed values.

You could just simulate the back button with:

<input type="button" name="back" value="back" onclick="history.go(-1)"/>

Before answering a question, even an answer to the original, one should
endeavor to read the original question:

To which your solution is utterly useless since it depends on javascript
and the history being scriptable.

I assumed since the question was posted to comp.lang.javascript that the OP was
searching for a JavaScript solution :)
