I have a form which I submit. When I'm on the submitted page and I press the back button in Internet Explorer, I still see the values I entered in the fields.

A colleague uses the same form, and when using the back button he gets all fields empty.

Is there a setting in IE that I have to change?

I use IE v. 9 my colleague uses IE v. 8

  • what version(s) of IE are you (andd your colleague) using? – SDC Oct 30 '12 at 10:06
  • is the form using POST or GET method to submit the data? – SDC Oct 30 '12 at 11:00
  • have yout tried clearing your browser cache (a full cache will mean it won't have space to keep your form data) – SDC Oct 30 '12 at 11:05
  • cache has been cleared-doesn't work. It's POST DATA – PoeHaH Oct 30 '12 at 13:13

    POSTed forms should not retain the data when you go back. If you want this behaviour, GET is probably more appropriate. (it does depend on the context though; this topic may help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2146431/back-button-re-submit-form-data-post) – SDC Oct 30 '12 at 13:24
