Do you know if it is possible to force the browser not to remember the previous view?

This is speculation, and I don't know if it will work for all browsers, but if you explicitly add the 'value' attribute to each of your form elements then the browser should not use it's own values to prefill the form. If you want the form element to be blank then add value="" (obviously it will vary for other input types like select and textarea but the idea is the same).

But this is all browser dependant, and hence out of control of the developer. Most browsers will allow you to disable the form filling features, but it is up to the end user to enable/disable the feature.
