I suspect that it has to do with the content of the page that received the form submission and/or how your browser is interpreting it. When the page comes up fine when just hitting your browser's back button is you're looking at the page from the cache on your computer rather than reloading it from the server. BUT, if your browser decides it doesn't want to look at the cached version, it asks the server to reload the page, and since hitting the back button doesn't submit the form info, you get stuck with having to go back and resubmit the form. Now, the question is WHY the page and/or your browser are looking to reload the page rather than read it from cache. Could have to do with your browser's preferences and/or the header/meta info sent by the web page. --Dan -- PHP scripts that make your job easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Ave, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
