Re: back from a search form

You might be able to send some headers about caching and expiration and convince IE that it's okay to show the user the old data... Alternatively, forget the JavaScript history (which won't work for some users anyway) and use $HTTP_REFERER to link back, perhaps with some PHP variables to return to the state you want, and maybe even a ?...&foo=$random to force IE to think it's a different page (since the paramaters are different) so it will actually go fetch it again. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
