If your web-server correctly redirects you to a new page after you made a post, the regular "back" button on the browser will work. Or the "history.go(-1)" in javascript. This will produce a filled out form.

However, if the server just returns new content without redirecting - then history.go(-1) is not going to help you. At that point you have lost your form.

If you just want to simply go back to the previous url - just link to it with an A HREF tag. That will show you an empty form.
