Need Help - Browser History Problem

[Jerish]

Hi Guys,

We are experiencing a strange problem while entering the data which asks some employee related detail. If the user presses the <OK> button it stores the data entered by the user in a database and show a blank screen. Suppose the user enters wrong data, the system is designed to show a error message.
The user can click the back button in the browser and modify the entered data(Previously Entered data will be displayed). But in very rare case, when the user presses the back button in the browser, it will not show the already entered data. It just shows the data entry screen without data . What will cause this problem ?

We are mainly using Internet Explorer as our browser.

Thanks,
DESS

Hi,

Sounds like a cache problem to me since you can make it appear sometimes and others not. This is of course dependant on the users machine and hence is not much you can do about it.

However why not have a 2nd window which pops up when you press &quot;ok&quot; This window sends the information to your database. If its wrong you can display the error in the popup window and the user can then just change the wrong data in the left open window without it being refreshed.

Just a thought.
