Back and Next button
-
Hi, Let me go straight to the point. I am doing a something like a wizard we use to setup some programs or system. I have 5 pages which all 5 pages is link together with 'Back' and 'Next' button. It was working fine until I tried the Back button and click Next again. I find it some what difficult to detect that the user clicked back and therefore when the user click next again, I suppose to do 'Update' and not 'Add' and also sometimes what the user typed in the form is not there any more. I'd tried a few solutions such as putting in checks whether the user already entered data by taking the primary key after inserting the data and put into a invincible label, so when the user press back, the system can check the label whether there is any value in it. I find it a bit tedious to do so, so I decided to come here to seek some expert advice on the best practice to do this - How to Add and Update respectively and keep everything on the page no matter the user click Back and Next how many times. This is what I did on the Back button
this.btnBack.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:history.back();return false;");

Is this a ASP.NET question? If so, what Framework you are using? If the Framework you are using is 2.0, then ASP.NET is providing with a nice Wizard Control which does all you need. history.back() will be effect if your page postbacks to the same page.

Make all the pages controls, and put them on one form, just change which one is visible.
