Subject: [ cf-dev ] OT - Page Expiring
Lo all,
I have a web-page (really ? tell us more!), after the form is submitted and
it goes to the next page I need to ensure that if the user clicks the back button the
previous page will be expired and require them to reload. Good ol' pragma no cache
doesn't seem to be working.. I was wondering about a piece of javascript to run once
when the page is loaded to refresh .. but I am clueless about javascript etc so I have
no idea if you can get something to just run one (im guessing with an onload command
?!?). The problem is the page has a random ref. code on it that needs to be
regenerated (don't blame me, im fixing someone elses gay0r code and I have no time to
sort the whole damn thing out!) and people are entering one lot of details .. clicking
back a bunch of times and then entering more details but they have the same ref code !
Any help much appreciated ! (I know its Friday ! - If I could, id put the whole lot in
a bin and burn it but I have no choice ! :�) )
(Happy Halloween btw)
