Summary: Return link on Submit??

Initial Comment:
What is the purpose of the [Return] link on the 
finish'  page?  This is confusing to say the least.  
Of the 7 people I had test the survey 3 of them 
clicked the link and thought that they hadn't filled 
it out and so did it again. 
 
It should be optional if there at all.  I can see that 
it might be useful for the testing phase, but not 
for the final posted version. 
 
Obviously, I can make up my own finish page but 
if there's no good reason for this, why have it?

The return link on the finish page is used to return the
user to the referer page. Assume that the survey was lauched
via a link on a website. When the survey is completed and
the user clicks the return link it will take them back to
the referer (in this case the website from which the survey
was launched). When the survey is lauched directly (by
typing the url into a browser window) the referer is itself
therefore clicking the link will return the user to the
survey. I'll see what we can do to prevent the second
scenario from occuring.

made changes to admin/include/funcs.inc and
public/handler.php files.
These changes are in the 2 diff files I have attached. 

Basically if a survey is in test mode the "Return" link stays.
If an active survey is launched directly from the URL or is
embedded directly into a web page the "Return" link should
no longer appear. If the survey is lauched from a link on a
web page (with a 'genuine referer') the "Return" link will
appear and function as required.

Thank you very much!   I'll be trying this for the next 
one.  Incidentally, compared to a previous survey that 
we implemented via a hosted web survey company, 
which had over 25 problems with the underlying 
technology,  this one has had 144 responses with 
ZERO problems about the technology.  We tried to 
make it straightforward, but the fact that it has had so 
few problems is very encouraging.  The recent 
improvements make it moreso.  Thanks again!!

Commited to CVS with a small modification.  Instead of
"survey.php?name=" for the check it's using 
$GLOBALS['ESPCONFIG']['autopub_url']
