This seems like a good idea.  

I ran into a potentially-related problem where, in Opera 6.0, clicking on
'View Jobs' wouldn't quite work right if you:
A) view a ticket; 
B) add an event to the ticket; 
C) Press 'View Jobs.'

This problem would *not* occur if you skipped step (B).  This seemed to be
because the URL you were viewing and the URL you were clicking to seemed
identical.

I fixed this by modifying the <form element in vj_showticket.scp.php to be:
<form method=POST action="<?echo $g_base_url;?>/index.php?whattodo=viewjobs&t_id=<?echo $t_id?>">

Which seeemd to do the job.  

Once you make your fix, I'd love to see if it also fixes the problem I was
trying to fix originally.
