History:Back question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 29.2008

Hello,

I’m a newbie at this, so please be patient. I have a webpage where one can subscribe to an e-newsletter. After you subscribe, it takes you to a “thank you” page that gives a link for going back. Here’s the code:

<p><strong>You have successfully subscribed to this list.<br /><a href=”javascript:history.back()”>Click here</strong></a> to return to the site.</p>

Right now, when the user goes back to the webpage from the thank you page, the e-mail address originally entered is still there. How can I make the e-mail address disappear from the posting textfield.

Thanks!

@Declan1991May 29.2008 — You will have to clear the field onbeforeunload of the original page. I think that the value will still be submitted, but I'm not absolutely certain. Something like this:[code=php]window.onbeforeunload = function(){
document.getElementsByName("TEXTBOXNAMEHERE")[0].value="";
}[/code]
