I take it you're probably using IE 5. That's a decent piece of 
software, better (IMHO) than it's Windows counterpart, EXCEPT it 
doesn't handle forms worth a crap. I can't develop in it because you 
can't refresh a form post. Whereas you get a dialogue in all other 
versions of all other browsers asking you to click OK to refresh the 
post, IE 5 for Mac just drops them. And as you say, if you try and 
click your back button to submit the form again, the values are 
generally gone.

Bummer!
