Greg,
First of all, Fusebox has absolutely nothing to do with this problem.
How often are you changing this form?
The simplest thing you can do to make sure that a user cannot cache that
form is to append a random number to the URL or form path to the fuseaction.
That way the browser will always have to check for a new version of the form
and since the URL will always be different, the form will not cache.
(Unless of course by some great chance they happen to get the same random ID
twice!)
The next thing you should do is make sure that you have all your vars
defined so that a user cannot either intentionally or unintentionally cause
an error because of missing variables.
Another thing you can do is change the fuseaction to the form. (By the way,
this is a great example of where the Fusebox style shines.)
You could also put a pragma-nocache tag into the HEAD of the specific
document to prevent it from being cached - although that doesn't always
work.
