Using javascript:history.go(-1) works but I lose css properties and scripts

When my clients submit a form and get an error they're taken to a page with a link to go back. I'm using javascript:history.go(-1) to go back to the form.

I'm loosing my css functionality with background changes and colors, etc. of the form when the client goes back.

I don't want the client to have to re-type everything agian with a refresh.

Is there a way to avoid this?

Why don't you save all the Data entered in the PHP Session, and (instead of history.go(-1)) Place a link to the Form again, where you check if there are values in the session, and write them in the Form-Field with PHP?

Something like

$_SESSION['name']=$_POST['name']

and backwards..

You could even do that without showing an error Page, and displaying the error on the form itself...

If the CSS you mention is being entered as part of the form, you might check out using a shim like Sisyphus.js to ensure cross-browser persistence when your user steps back through the form.
