Hi,

I posted last week about a problem I've got and didn't get any responses,
but I've managed to come up with a workaround and a possible cause
(guessing). I was wondering if someone could confirm my theories and give me
some information on the proper way to handle this.

I have a search results web page that is opened with info in the query
string. It's handled fine by asp.net, but when the user navigates away from
the page then goes back to it, the query string does not return the expected
results e.g.

http://localhost/GSContracts/SearchResults.aspx?quoteID=0&quotesAll=Yes&dateFrom=00/00/00&dateTo=29/08/07

When going to the page first time, the query string returns values as seen,
but when going back to the page dateFrom returns "" and dateTo returns
Nothing.

I've guessed that it's something to do with the fact that a post back is
processed through javascript and javascript may not recognise the /
character?? Like I said, total guesswork... so I've used some shared global
variables in my application to get around this problem.

This works fine, but I'm sure there's a more elegant solution? Perhaps, if
I'm right, there's a format I should be using for dates in query strings, so
javascript can process it?

Thanks in advance.
