Going back one page in IE

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 20.2004

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 “Warning: Page has 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.

How can I do the same with IE6???

Any other suggestions?

@steelersfan88Aug 20.2004 — IE puts every page in history (except meta refreshes), so going back goes to the page that processes the data (the server side script).

The other browsers will go back two pages in history, since they [correctly] do not put the processing page in the history.
