Bit of clarification. A = initial page B = target of link both pages have cachecontrol set to no-cache.
Follow link from A Hit back button then the message shows. The only time I get *any* of my error pages to show is when I do a refresh on A, after getting there by a back button. Then it goes to the <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/file_not_found.html</location> </error-page> page. Typing in a bad address shows the standard ie6 404 page. regards DaveP -----Original Message----- From: Jon Wingfield Sounds like the message IE gives when you hit back to a page served in response to a POST request. http://theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=28366 http://theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=29758 It is Jon. As that (rather long:-) thread indicates, I'm similarly trying to maintain state through the website, and a user hitting back screws that up. Hence I'm looking for a means of trapping that error for either a re-direct, or to an error page. HTTP 1.1 seems not to class that as an error, hence I'm looking for another way to access that 'bad' state. regards DaveP -- DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
