This occurs when you do something akin to the following:

Start at </my/script/here.cfm>.
POST to </another/script/there.cfm>.
POST again to </yet/another/script.cfm>.
Go back to </another/script/there.cfm>.

Since <there.cfm> was generated by a POST, Navigator (and even IE) will not
let you see the page again.  That's the way it works.  The same thing can
happen if the file stays the same and is POSTing to itself.  (Like a
wizard.)

Two solutions:

1. Use the GET method.
2. Make the URL unique each time:
   a. Start at <script.cfm>
   b. POST to <script.cfm?action=steptwo>
   c. POST to <script.cfm?action=stepthree>

Subject: DATA MISSING!!! (back button)


****************************
Data Missing

This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the
cache. If you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document

When I hit the back button in Netscape I get this error message.  What
gives?  How do I fix this?
Thank you.
