Sorry for my vagueness. The "doesn't work" remark simply means that 
the page doesn't refresh.

The 'rock' variable is sent to, and received, by the ajax routine.

[1] How?

The "sndReq(action)" is the typical sndReq() function associated with ajax.

-snip- back button considerations

You lost me there.

The purpose of my investigation is to pass a variable between pages 
using php sessions and ajax.

I have no problems passing variables between pages using php 
sessions. I also have no problems using ajax to pass a variable to a 
php session. However, I can't get a ajax operation to pass a variable 
and refresh/redirect the browser to another page in one click.

I think [1] is the solution -- but how? I showed you what I ready tried.

    <a href="javascript:sndReq('rock');location.href='';" >Rock </a>

How do you do it?

Thanks.
