hello, I have a form generated by a JSP page. The form contains a few (7-8) fields. When the page is submitted it goes to a servlet and finally the request gets forwarded to the next JSP that renders the next html. There is a cancel button in the next page (that is effectively doing history.back() in the onClick event). When this cancel button is clicked the request is again going to the server (instead of the browser taking it from it's local cache) and hence the form in the previous page is reloaded with all fields empty. This means the user would have to re-type all fields. The same thing works fine in Netscape, but the reload of the previous page on history.back() is happening for IE browser only. How do I make sure that the previous page form doesn't reload ? I haven't used any META tags like expires or no-cache, no-store etc. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Pritam

Pritam I'd check the Tools --> Internet Options --> General --> Settings in your IE browser, where you are able to specify how frequently the browser should download the page from the server.
