You are correct in all your assumptions. I changed the friendly HTTP errors

As far has hitting the back button, I am using it in my development phase.
If the data doesn't process correctly, I alter the code and either refresh
the code or press the back button to perform some other action. Also, if
some bonehead can't seem to enter the information in correctly, at times, I
provide a warning to press the back button and try again. Most of these
situations I have covered with <cfinput...required="Yes" tags and JavaScript
validation tags. However, there are a few instances where it was much
easier to have the user press their back button than try to code all the
variations in the JavaScript.

The "friendly http error" stuff doesn't have anything to do with the loss of
form data.
Unfortunately you have to handle the retention of the form data yourself,
either through session variables or hidden form fields that get posted back
to the original form. (I think there's something new
in CFMX 7 that does auto-retention but I haven't looked into it.)
Also, if you're talking about autocomplete in the *browser*, that has
nothing to do with CF either. The way that stuff usually works is if it
recognizes a standard form field name like "email" it will populate that
field with an email address that it has stored.
So you're actually asking multiple questions:
1. AutoComplete: nothing to do with CF--check your form field names and mess
with those to see if that helps.
2. Retaining Form Data: you have to handle this yourself, and even if you
try, if they literally hit the back button in the browser, then it's a crap
shoot depending on their browser settings. I guess the other question I
would have is why you'd have to hit the back button after you submit the
form?
3. Friendly HTTP Errors--that had to do with something different that you
asked yesterday if I remember correctly.

On some form pages, the information I populate into the form is
retained and provides me with AutoComplete options for other
submittals of the same form (this is a good thing). However, other
form pages, more complex, will not retain my form variables for
AutoComplete options. Also, when I submit the form to the action page
and then click my back button, the form fields do not automatically
repopulate themselves with the information just submitted.
I have to fill out the entire form again - quite frustrating.
Does anyone know of a setting somewhere that I'm missing? I have made
sure that "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages" is turned off in the
Internet Options.
Please advise.
