Question

I have a form that onsubmit calls an ajaxFunction()... The ajaxfunction calls a php function which returns results from a mysql db...

Problem is the back button... I want users to be able to search and then search again and then use the back button to get back to the previous search, but this wont work... Remember, the form doesnt really submit, it calls an ajaxfunction...

Do I have to make the form submit in order to use the back button?

BTW I have tried submitting the form, but the page just gets refreshed and the ajaxfunction doesnt get called and that leads to no mysql results because the php file never got called!!!

Thanks for all help guys... and let me know if you need more input...

Answer 1

You can submit the form to a named anchor on the current page which won't cause a server request.

Your form:

<form action="#anchor">
...
</form>

Your form's destination (on the same page)

<a name="anchor">...</a>

If you do this, the back button will navigate back to your pre-form submit address in the address bar without a page reload.

UPDATE: Try using Really Simple History :)
