Hi

I've got a quote engine page using the Post method for forms. I use the Response.Expires=0 on most of the pages to stop users mucking around with values etc. Is there any way we can set up a Custom Page like the Error 404 page so that we can put some nice explanation to our customers telling why the page has expired after they hit the browsers back button whilst in the middle of a quote.

Many thanks

Unfortunately, no. That message isn't really a page, and it's not generated by the server -- it's built into the browser, where the expiry determination is made. Page expiration information is sent with the original page, but when the user hits the back button no new request is sent to the server until the user refreshes.

You could display a message from the server after the user refreshes, but not before.
