Re: back button gets Warning, page expired

Hi! This message isn"t given from the server, it is clientside. And only if the form you go when clicking back was created using PHP (CGI) and the POST method. Try to use method=get . The message appears because IE means that a page created using the POST method is out of date , because a script had process a lot with the data, have stored it into databases, and so on, and will not show it again. Due to my first sentence you cannot change the message text (client-side-message). by the way: for changing apache error messages refer to: http://www.apache.org/docs-1.2/mod/core.html#errordocument regards Folke -- Folke Ashberg Stage Internet Services GmbH Technical Development folke@fanstage.de folke@fanstage.de | Tel: +49 89 454591-77 | Fax: +49 89 454591-71 Kreillerstr. 21 | 81673 Munich | Germany | www.fanstage.de On Mon, 27 Nov 2000, Janet Valade wrote: > > When a user fills in a form and clicks the submit button and is on the new > page, if they click the back button in the browser, they get a warning from > Apache: > > "Warning: Page has Expired > The page you requested was created using information you submitted in > a form.
