I'm not definitely sure. I scripted these pages a couple of years ago. I
think it was to provide a look and feel for the user interface I
preferred. A form button to get there to start with and then for some
reason a regular link seemed more appropriate for getting back to the
page. I probably also reused the page/script, but without a form.

Thanks for that extra bit of info. The correct location will be either
POST or GET. They will never both be used.
