Re: Back Back NOOOO

I'd like to have the script prevent the last page from being shown....present the user with an error..page expired message or something.

When you emit the page that you don't want people to back into, include Cache-control: no-cache in the header.

Also, when you're printing your header with CGI, you can use: `print $query->header ( .... expires => 'now' );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Great suggestion, The page that is causing the problems is an HTML that is simply dumped into main. The issue comes when submit values on that page are mixed with values that are sent to the Perl Script Driving the interface after the back action. I think putting this line in the header of the template used to create these pages just might do the trick...THANKS SO MUCH!
