To keep people from filling out a form, clicking submit, hitting back and clicking submit again. You'd be surprised how many people do that.
And I believe you're right, the only way you get the expired message is if you click back after submitting a form, but that's reason enough for me. However I'd trade it in for a good "If BACK was clicked restart this process from page X" function. It's probably possible using some JavaScript, just haven't tried that yet.

But why would you want to? Jared Clinton. -----Original Message----- From: Stevens, Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 10 December 2002 8:16 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Warning: Page has Expired I have no doubt that this is a no brainer but I can't seem to find the answer. I've tried setting the expiration in the meta tag but it doesn't seem to give me the result I want. I want a page to expire if it is either refreshed or if someone tries to hit the back button to see the page. How would I go about that? I would like to invoke that standard page that we've all seen before with "Warning: Page has Expired".
