Subject: REpost form data?

> We have one Search Servlet which will display a page, let us say Search

can

by

Individual

> I had a solution like this:
> I associated the onclick event on the Back button history.back(). So

> When i use the back button to go to the Search Result Page, presumably
since

> resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the cache. If you wish

when

behaviour.
