Back button clears form entry... Help?

[Fritz]

I can't seem to pin it down and it's inconsistant bUT ....

I am building forms that as the user to 'hit there browser's back button' to correct or complete their information...

Sometime (on a pc and mac) with the latest version of IE ... You hit the back button and the data is gone...

Is their a proper fix for this?

Cache problem maybe.

But it's not a good idea to ask your user to 'hit the back button' to correct entry.

I had the same problem when I used session in the submission form page. If this is the case, you can simply put this line before session_start():

session_cache_limiter('private')

It should do the trick. IIf this is not the case, I think that somehow the page is refreshed. Find a way to prevent it (refreshing) from happening.

or you can do a "click here to correct entry"

and submit the data back to the page with all the input fields

or you can spit out the form again, with the form elements auto filled with the posted information inputted
