Hitting "Back" loses all GET/POST data....

[Greg Alaksdjflk]

How do I create a form that allows one to submit a form, then press
the
"BACK" button on the browser, and allow the user to see the data he
posted?
It seems as though this information is lost. For instance,

<form method="get" action="/contact/default.asp" name="ContactFo rm">
....
</form>

for instance, leaving a feedback at

http://www.baltimoresun.com/about/bal-feedback.htmlstory

and pressing the back button on the browser wipes out all feedback
fields I just entered...help!

thanks

Do you have any anti-caching code in your page? I believe that most
browsers will show you what you entered if they aren't forced to pull a
fresh page on every visit.

The browser normally *does* retain all that. People usually are asking how
to make it stop doing it. You have to go out of you way to make it behave as
it is now.

if the previous page u requested is "default.as p" using Back (<input
type=submit value=back>) then it is certainly going to wipe out the
contents. bcaoz that page is reloaded
