New form to return to referring page

[davidnarramore]

We have 1200+ sites with a link to an ECT list type named Comment Log. Each site link passes two parameters to the new form to auto fill fields. Upon clicking the save button I want the user to return to the referring page giving them the opportunity to click on the link again to add another comment. I tried using the onclick button event with "window.history.go(-1); " without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How about using the "source" parameter? if you open the new-form not in tab, but in same window, you can use the source parameter in the call-event and then, after saving, sharepoint will redirect you to the page by source parameter

Sorry I'm not following. The form opens in the same window. However on submit the list opens. I want to return to the page that the originating link was on. I tried putting "window.history.go(-1); return false;" in the button onclick event without success.

When I put the following into the onclick field it returns to the page, but it doesn't write to the database.
window.history.go(-1); return false;

Dear David,
Can you post here a full URL of the form? Please, wrap it inside code tags, so it's not considered a hyperlink. If it has a source parameter, it should be quite easy to redirect users back, after the form is saved.
