clearing form fields when user presses back button

[dbr999]

Hey everyone, I have a quick question, I have a credit card form, and after it is submitted a confirmation page is displayed, if the user presses the back arrow on their browser, all of their data is still in the fields (including the credit card data). I'm trying to figure out how I can clear the credit card data for security purposes. (if someone just happen to press the back arrow on their browser, or if they left their computer and another use came and did it)

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure if this will work, but have you tried hardsetting a blank value to the form elements?

<input type="text" value="">

If the above does not work you could probably do it with JavaScript. Creat a function, and call it onLoad(). This is purly psyudo-code, as I am not a js expert by any means.

function clearText() {
document.formname.fieldname.value = "";
}

Something along those lines should clear the box, if it has a value, whenever the page is loaded into the browser.

However, if you have the form reshow on an error, then the feild will be blank at that time as well.

Hope this helps.
