response.redirect and refresh

[borgkling2003]

I build a registration page in ASP.
Upon submittion...it will go to a ThankYou page.
When I hit the back button on the BROWSER navigator, I would like the registration page to clear as new. How do I do this?

You could write an 'onLoad' event using Javascript to clear out any existing values.

OR

Set a load of constants in your ASP so you can add default "value" attributes to your form elements.

Put this at the top of the page.


<%
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
Response.AddHeader "Cache-Control", "must-revalidate"
Response.AddHeader "Cache-Control", "no-cache"
%>

put these 3 lines on the top of your page:

<% Response.CacheControl = "no-cache" %>>
<% Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache" %>
<% Response.Expires = -1 %>

Thanks. But will these work for a MAC browser?

Yes. They're (DNG's, anyway) putting standard headers into the page, and work with all browsers. All three are included because not all browsers pay attention to any particular one.
