forms reset when page is navigated away from

[mr.pat]

Is there a way to keep form information from being erased when the page is
navigated away from?

If you use the browser back button to get back to the form, then the
information will be preserved (there are exceptions to this), but in
almost every case if you use a link to get back to the form the
information will be lost.

One link that can be used (it emulates the browser back button) is

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Previous Page</a>
