Re: Can anyone help with solving the BACK button problem, in the browser?

[Ted Husted]

It's not wrong to have a form in the session context, so long as it is
disposed in the normal course; it's just a convenience that you do not
want to overuse.

 Just a comment... Looks like your method of checking the RefreshOption
 property will only work if the scope of the ActionForm is session.
 That's ok if one doesn't mind the use of resources.

Can anyone help with solving the BACK button problem, in the browser?

Please help,

When the user pushes the back button, I want the page to redirect or refresh
to a different page, please, any ideas?

Thanx guys and gals

Depending on which browser you use, and the data on the page, the back button
may cause (or ask) the page to reload.
However, some browsers (like IE) only display a snapshot of what the last page
rendered to.
Therefore, you cannot use scriptlets or the action class.  However, you are able
to kick-off javascript.
If you can gaurantee that your users will have javascript enabled, you can write
a simple test to see if this page was already displayed to the user.  You could
check a flag (hidden field) when the page loads.  If the flag is true, then use
the javascript to reload to your desired page.

HTH,
