To fix it, try to replace those code with this one : <pre><code>if (($element->id == 37) && ($element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id]['default_value'] == '')){ $element->default_value = $_GET["domain"]; }</code></pre> and I think you can consider to use a form id in your condition, so the code will be work on specific form only. celica on "Clicking 'back' Button Removes Entered Data" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/clicking-back-button-removes-entered-data#post-5355 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 00:28:39 +0000 celica 5355@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi Redito. I have tried the session code at the top of my order.php page, but unfortunately that doesn't change the scenario, NB I did edit the 'single line text' code in the "view-functions.php" file (from line 10) as below, in order to autofill element_37 single line text with a variable from my string. I would be most grateful if possible you could perhaps see a conflict with my code there...? //Single Line Text function display_text($element){ //check for error $error_class = ''; $error_message = ''; $span_required = ''; $guidelines = ''; if(!empty($element->is_error)){ $error_class = 'class="error"'; $error_message = "{$element->error_message}"; } //check for required if($element->is_required){ $span_required = "id}\" class=\"required\">*"; } //check for guidelines if(!empty($element->guidelines)){ $guidelines = "id}\">{$element->guidelines}"; } //post session url selected if($element->id == 37){ $element->default_value = $_GET["domain"]; } $element_markup = <<<EOT <li id="li_{$element->id}" {$error_class}> <label class="description" for="element_{$element->id}">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label> <div> <input id="element_{$element->id}" name="element_{$element->id}" class="element text {$element->size}" type="text" value="{$element->default_value}" /> </div>{$guidelines} {$error_message} </li> EOT; return $element_markup; } //Paragraph Text Regards Alan Davies NB apologies for my erroneous posts below: redityo on "Clicking 'back' Button Removes Entered Data" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/clicking-back-button-removes-entered-data#post-5345 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 10:02:12 +0000 redityo 5345@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hmmm It seems a session problem, could you try to put this code in the first line of your "order.php" <pre><code><?php session_start(); ?></code></pre> celica on "Clicking 'back' Button Removes Entered Data" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/clicking-back-button-removes-entered-data#post-5340 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 03:45:25 +0000 celica 5340@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi redityo Thanks..... the url is <a href="http://www.essentialwebs.co.uk/whois/order.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.essentialwebs.co.uk/whois/order.php</a> Regards Alan redityo on "Clicking 'back' Button Removes Entered Data" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/clicking-back-button-removes-entered-data#post-5326 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:42:52 +0000 redityo 5326@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi Alan, Hmmm It should get the data back, could you give me your form url and do some test on it? celica on "Clicking 'back' Button Removes Entered Data" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/clicking-back-button-removes-entered-data#post-5322 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 04:16:29 +0000 celica 5322@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Clicking 'back' button on my review page deletes all single line text field data on the entry form (but paragraph text remains!). Is this a known issue? (perhaps I have a bug in my script) or can there be a workaround? Thanks for any help... Regards Alan Davies
