Thanks Jürgen!  That works perfectly for me.

Looking one step forward, I would like to redirect the user back to
the previous page from whence they came (without using sessions).  I
figure I am going to need to stash that value on my EditForm class and
then pull it up during the redirect in my render method.  I've done my
best to explore this, but I can't figure out where the previous page
information will be available on my EditForm.

** Where should I stash previous page information for future redirects
on my EditForm? **

Thanks,
Joel
