Problem with onload in jsp page
843840May 5 2008 — edited May 6 2008Hi all,
I had two jsp pages, a search and a results page. I need to enter some search criteria in the first page and based on that criteria i will be getting the results in the results jsp. Now, when i click the back button in the results page, i need to go to the search page and the values which i entered in the search page needs to be present there. But the problem is i had a javascript function which runs on loading of the search page. This function will set all the values in this search page to empty whenever we go to the search page. I am calling this javascript function as follows in my search jsp page.
<body onload="setdefaultvalues('<%=name%>');">
I am having the code for the back button in the results page as follows.
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE='Back' onClick="javascript:history.go(-1);resetvalue(name);" class="button">
The problem i am facing is whenever i go to the search page by clicking on the back button, the values in the search page are getting empty because of the onload method. There is no way that i can remove this onload method as i require it for setting the values in the search page evrytime i get to that from other modules as it is the main page for my module. So, is there anyway that i can stop this function from executing when i come from the results page or is there any other way that i can store the values in the search page when going from the results page.
