  1. POIs it possible to retain form radio selections using the back button?
    text
    copied!<p>The user can select a radio button and depending on which radio button is selected, an input field can show asking for additional information. The user submits the form; then say they need to go back and make a change to the form. When they go back, the input field is no longer showing but the correct radio button is selected. </p> <p>The answer only needs to work in IE8+. Using jQuery as part of the solution is also an option. </p> <p>--==UPDATED 7/31/2012 using the jQuery plugin simsalabim ==--</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;!---&lt;script src="sisyphus.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;---&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="https://raw.github.com/simsalabim/sisyphus/master/sisyphus.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ $('#form1').sisyphus(); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;script&gt; function ToggleColorOptions(el) { if (el == 'Std') { $('#Option1').show(); $('#Option2').hide(); } else if (el == 'Non') { $('#Option1').hide(); $('#Option2').show(); } } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;form id="form1" action="myTesta.cfm" method="post"&gt; &lt;input name="StdRNonStdOption" type="radio" id="StdRNonStdOption_std" onclick="ToggleColorOptions('Std');" value="Std" /&gt; Standard &lt;br /&gt; &lt;input name="StdRNonStdOption" type="radio" id="StdRNonStdOption_non" onclick="ToggleColorOptions('Non');" value="Non" /&gt; Non-Standard &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div id="Option1" style="display:none;"&gt; &lt;select name="ThisColor" &gt; &lt;option&gt;&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Blue&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Green&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="Option2" style="display:none;"&gt; &lt;input name="ThisColor" type="text" size="20" maxlength="51" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; </code></pre> <p> </p>
