Submitting Multiple HTML Forms

[Timon.P.Tesar at am.pnu.com]

          We have an HTML form people can use to request article 
          copies from our Document Delivery service. Internet Explorer 
          3 is our standard browser.
          
          People sometimes want to submit multiple requests in which 
          much of the data in the form is the same. After clicking on 
          the submit button, a confirmation page appears. 
          Unfortunately, if the user then clicks on the browser Back 
          button to return to the form, all the data they previously 
          entered is gone and they have to type everything all over 
          again.
          
          1. Is there anything I can do with the forms page (some kind 
          of JavaScript perhaps?) so that the data will remain in the 
          form when they click the Back button?
          
          2. We will be switching to I.E. 4 in six months or so. Do 
          forms work the same in I.E. 4 as they do in I.E. 3 (i.e. the 
          form data is not retained)?
          
          Any advice will be appreciated and thanks in advance.
