pressing a button so that it can go back and edit the fields

[nash avin]

Hi All,

Thanks every one for helping me with trivial questions out here.I have one more here.

I would like to have a button "edit" that has the functionality on being pressed would be able to direct to a page with the filled values , so that the user can edit the form and resubmit it.

I have tried the following code , but it doesnt seem to have that effect.Kindly help me out with regrds to this.

 
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function button(location) {
   top.location = location
}
//-->
</script>
 
<form action="./welcome.html" method=post>

<b>Course :  <input type="text" name="course" readonly=true value="<%=            bean.getCourse() %>" ><br>
<b>Semester : <input type="text" name="sem" readonly=true value="<%= bean.getSemester() %>"><br>
<b>Instructor :<input type="text" name="inst" readonly=true value="<%= bean.getInstructor() %>"><br>

<input type="submit" value="Edit" oc="button('javascript:history.back(1)')">
</form>
 

Many thanks

You have an issue with your JavaScript.

It should read:
oclick="javascript:history.back(1);return flase;">

I really am not sure why you are using a submit button. Shouldn't it be a normal button?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your answer.It is true that it should not be a submit button, it just should be a button.

The solution did work here.

Many Thanks
