Hi All,
I am a fledgling developer trying to become more proficient in using 4D and the 
web for in-house applications.

Sinds many years 4D is capable to send, to the Web browser, the HTML page of 
the Web file stored in the document whose pathname is supplied.

Every page I send to the browser is cached (back), so if I send first :
page 1, where user enters an account# or other unique identifier
   this info is send back to 4d, a query is made (if found)
page 2, is shown with info to, possibly, change
   say the data is updated, the page info is send back to 4D, acknowledged
page 3, is send stating successful acceptance of the data.   All 3 pages 
designed with simple HTML and inline css. 

If I have 15 such case one morning, I might have 15x 3 pages possibly in the 
cache at that one station / smart device.
Pressing the back-button I can go back and update the data once more and again 
send the page to the 4d database, 
which is an absolute no-no. 

Is there a technique or standard that is used with 4D environment that use a 
different approach, besides elaborate javascripts that bent 
and force website behavior to behave, e.g. no back button which does work for 
one browser and not another. 

Any tips on this would be very welcome. 

In my ignorance I am thinking like, put up 1 screen for input identifier
same screen (with other html) put up the requested data
at acknowledgement, redraw again screen 1 for input of identifier. 

thus no back-button action possible (?), what’s wrong with this picture ?
