RETURN TO FILTER WITH SAME DATA INSERTED

[LORRAINE]

DEAR SIR/MADAM

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ONCE YOU HAVE SELECTED DATA IN A FILTER SCREEN AND RECIEVED RESULTS TO HAVE A LINK THAT TAKES YOU BACK TO THAT FILTER SCREEN WITH THE SAME DATA INSERTED INTO THE FILTER BOXES ? I WANT THIS BECAUSE MY FILTER SCREEN IS QUITE LONG AND IT TAKES MY CLIENTS AGES TO KEEP GOING BACK AND PUTTING IN THEIR DETAILS AGAIN AND AGAIN.

CAN IT BE DONE?

THANKS

LORRAINE

Hi Lorraine,

A couple ideas come to mind. One, you could program a button that simply does a "back" function in Javascript. If you press Back, it does show up with all the fields filled out. The second idea would be to use JavaScript to manually remember and populate the fields any way you wish. Use the FilterValidateName option in dbFilterParams to specify a JavaScript function to fire when the Apply button is pressed.

Hope this points you in the right direction,
John
