Hi:

I've been getting complaints from users on my site that when they enter in a code incorrectly that anything they've typed into a textarea box gets lost. Is there something that I'm missing on the .asp page that would keep the message body when the click the back button?

Thanks

OH... and to top that off.. I've tested it out with Firefox, IE & Chrome and it's happening on Firefox & IE but not Chrome.. :|

On page that where it displays the CAPTCHA code was entered incorrectly add the following as the back link:-

<a href="javascript:history.back()">Go Back</a>

This will be the same as hitting the back button in browsers and in many would mean the content is retained.
