I agree, and I don't think that what darin is saying is correct. I haven't tested, recently, however. Back/forward should not talk to the server with no-cache, IIRC. One thing we don't do is restore form elemnts on back/forward with no-cache, though, mainly for compatability with IE. For no-store, we do not keep it for session history. Whilst the spec says that we can, sites expect that we don't. These sites don't want people to be able to go back to view any username and password data saved in session history. I could be misremembering though - I know that we kept changing our mind :) Bradley
