Back one Page in IE 1

[florida41]

Anyway I can make my Browser go back to a previous page just like Netscape 7 does?

My Cold Fusion form processes data and then if I hit the back button in IE6 it says "Page Expired..." and doesnt go back to the form page. I tried many variations of the history.back() functions:
history.back()
history.go(-1)
history.back(-1)

It still doesnt take me back to the form page. The Netscape 7 Browser Button works all the time with the Action/Result page where I submit a form and it takes me to the action page then if I hit the Netscape 7 Browser Back button it takes me back to the form.

Should I look into just passing back a variable to get back to the form? IF so how would I do that because I have one field I am passing called Cust_id?

<a href="mysite.cfm?cust_id=1">back</a>

Please advise anything I can do???

This is a known issue, it is the default behavior of CF. It can be controlled with cfheader tags. Put this line of code in your application.cfm page and it should take care of the problem.

I use

<a href="javascript:history.back()">Previous Page</a>
