Linking back from related page

Question

Hi Guys,

I have a search page that displays a list of results, when I
click this list I get a detail page with more info,

But once on the detail page How do i get the user back to the
last page with the same record /s on it without them having to
click back on the browser?

I just want a small text link to click that says back to
record of XXX and when clicked it goes back to the start of the
trail...

I tried making links and adding the detail page behavour and
passing an url parimiter back to the page but it errors out?

Im using DW8 / ASP /VBS / Access 2000

Thanks again

Sorry, in relation to this...."Also, keep in mind that if your results page (2) isinitially being fed bythe results of a FORM and you then, on the link back frompage 3, are tryingto feed it with a QUERYSTRING, you will get an error with therecordset. Ifthat's happening, I think you just need to change the METHODof the originalform to GET rather than POST."I should have also mentioned that you'd need to change yourrecordset on the results list page (page 2) from Request.Form("searchfield")to Request.QueryString("searchfield")Doops!Nath."Tag2007" wrote inmessage news:eauant$50e$1@forums.macromedia.com...> Hi I Tried it and get an error..>> I search on page 1>> Results list on page 2>> Details on page 3>> All work, But my new link on page 3 back to page 2 worksBut when back on > page> 2 if you click a result again to view the details iterrors out saying>> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error'80040e14'>> [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error(comma) in query> expression 'field_id = 14417, 14417'.>>> Here are my 2 links I tried as suggested.>> Link On Results page :page2> To Detail Page>> "& "searchID2=" &> Request.Form("txt_sbt")"class="style4">View>>------------------------------------------------------------------>> Back To results>>> ">View > Search> Results>> Thanks again for any help> Tag>

Hi Tag,When the user clicks the link to the detail page, I'd assumeyou are probably passing an ID value so that the detail page knowswhich record to display?What you need to do is to also pass the original search valueto the detail page, as well as the ID value. Then, when you are on thedetail page, you would put this search value into the link back to the searchresults page so that when it goes back it displays the same details.Something like this for the link TO the details page&search=<%=Request.Form("search")%>">ViewDetails...and something like this for the link BACK to the searchpage:">Backto Search ResultsHope this points you in the right direction. If I can helpout further, just let me know.RegardsNath."Tag2007" wrote inmessage news:eask8p$rm$1@forums.macromedia.com...> Hi Guys,>> I have a search page that displays a list of results,when I click this > list I> get a detail page with more info,>> But once on the detail page How do i get the user backto the last page > with> the same record /s on it without them having to clickback on the browser?>> I just want a small text link to click that says back torecord of XXX and> when clicked it goes back to the start of the trail...>> I tried making links and adding the detail page behavourand passing an > url> parimiter back to the page but it errors out?>> Im using DW8 / ASP /VBS / Access 2000>> Thanks again> Tag>
