I have a question regarding params usage. I have a view that uses a number of params hashes to display some information. I also have some links and when I click on these links I want to have a back button to return to the previous page. Is there a better way to save the params instead of having to pass them all through two links (the main link and the back link) It seems like there is a better way. Thanks. ---

Store them in the session, rather than params. On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 3:26 PM, Dave L.
