Well, at first I really didn't think that was it. But I wanted to be sure,
so I started doing some research on IE and it's caching of POST data.
Apparently it does cache the post data if you utilize get data as well. In
other words:

<form action="/form.xsp?stuff=whatever" method="post"  />

I'm not doing that, but I still wasn't comfortable. So I began utilizing the
'cache-control: no-cache' header, as documented via
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q234067&;. That
didn't solve it, so I hit it with Netscape 7. Still no results.

Netscape 7 has a nifty feature of 'View->Page Info'. In this dialog it says
explicitly, "Source:  (not cached)".

So I know that it's not caching the page source.

But I don't think it's caching the post data either. I've taken all the
steps I know of to eliminate that possibility, and AFAIK browsers don't
really cache that data, because it's obvious that you wouldn't want to
always resubmit the same info to a form. IE explicitly asks you if you want
to resubmit the same data.

Additionally, my entries into the field would override any POST cache.
Wouldn't it?
