I didn't expect this.

After all my lovingly crafted work. I switch back to IE 6.028 and guess what?

Not only does it not cache pages with forms in them, it makes you click through 2 ugly screens to resubmit.

For struts, which relies heavily on form submission, this is pure death.

For instance, I'm viewing my portfolio, click a button to see the obligatory chart - hit the back button and woops! its all gone. Click forward - thats gone too.
Joe Public gives up at this stage.

It will be impossible to write commercial webapps in struts if this continues to be IE behaviour.

gutted.

Hi Peter.

While that's a good pattern, it doesn't solve the 'back button' problem.

Though I don't have the time (I'll be too busy stripping all the forms out of my Struts application), whoever writes an ActionForm that strips the params out of an ordinary http GET - they will be doing the world a great big favour.
 
The harder you work, the luckier you get. This tiny ad brings luck - just not good luck or bad luck.
