Hi Jim,

 

I'm note sure if this is indeed related to your problem, but I did
recall seeing a warning on a site about not using the Back button.

 

http://librarycatalogue.rnib.org.uk/

 

If you select the "Search the Library Catalogue" button, it will take
you to:

 

http://librarycatalogue.rnib.org.uk/WebZ/Authorize?sessionid=0 

 

where is says not to use the back button.

 

All being well, you might see something in their source, or be able to
get more info from your lady friend there.

 

George.

George:

 

Suppose you have an input form, with a submit button. This button
evokes a "HTTP_Serverlet_Request do POSt"  command essentially passing
data from the web form to the backend server.... in my case this data
is then passed to the mainframe for specific validation. If for what
ever reason the validation fails a form pops up informing of the
failure and the user then typically presses the IE Back Button to
return them to the data input form. However instead of displaying said
form, the previously mentioned IE "Session Expired / Session Time out"
error form is displayed.

 

Now, this doesn't occur each and every time and now only exists in IE
and not any other browser....

 

If I code my own back button and not rely upon IE's BB then I have no
issue.

 

Like I said in the first message Firefox has resolved this but there
is no indication as to how they did it or what the cause in the first
place was.

Jim,

 

Perhaps I've missed a message, but what's the actual problem/issue?

Subject: [program-java] IE: Back Button 

 

Hello all: 

I guess this is an ASP / JSP / Internet Explorer issue.... I've spent
some time on Google researching the issue of the Back Button in IE and
the "Session Expired / Session Time out" issue. I've not found a
reasonable explanation or resolution aside from actually scripting a
button and using code to work around it.

Has any one found a solution to the IE issue? Firefox has released a
patch sometime ago that did resolve the issue but since most users are
IE users I was hoping, actually praying for some guidance.
