hi,
Ive created a registration page, which checks if user name already exists.

The problem i have is that when it finds one it redirects to another page where i can put the error msg, but when i place a button taking them back they have to fill the form out again.
Other than using session variables, is there a way I can keep the data on the original registration page.

I could use request.form on second page I suppose but ive used the ready made extention that passes a querystring only to the error page and becos of that it wont post the other form items. If it did I could hide them and post them back I suppose but Im unsure how to do this..

please help

On your error page put a button, image or text link then use a JavaScrip Back, this is like clicking back button on the browser toolbar so all the info should still be in the form.

<a href="#" onClick="history.back()">Back</a>

Regards

Owen.

Doh!

excellent thanks very much for that

Another simle way is:
For example your registration page is registration.asp. Then save it as usernameexists.asp with the difference that
it has an additional tread/table that say
username already in use.
