Hmmm, So this isn't a unique problem then?
Thanks everyone for the responses Tim Winters Creative Development Manager Sampling Technologies Incorporated 1600 Bedford Highway, Suite 212 Bedford, Nova Scotia B4A 1E8 www.samplingtechnologies.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 902 450 5500 Cell: 902 430 8498 Fax:: 902 484 7115 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 20, 2003 2:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] back button and forms Hi, One of the problems Tim, is that POST is not usualy cached on the client side. Even proxies seem to respect that rule and do not cache the page if the method was a POST. If you are sending non critical data and the volume is small you might want to consider a switch from POST to GET for some of the pages at least. all the best Tim Winters wrote: >Hello, > >I have a series of forms set over a few pages.
