All normal stuff. With IE6 set to Automatically, it's re-requesting the form from the server. All the form values are reset and the user looses everything they've entered.

RE: IE6 caching behaviour... all change
I don't know about caching but I've noticed some really odd behaviour with IE6, like it just stops being able to access web pages for no apparent reason Also some strange behaviour with redirects and cflocation tags...? On shutdown the process doesn't terminate and I have to use taskmanager to kill it When it restarts it seems to be ok, at least for a while then starts acting up again. :-( MS Gremiln v6 me thinks.. Anyone else noticed anything smillar? best wishes, -= Ed ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

Do you have an online example to see!! Or a point description of the flow of the application for this point. No, sorry, it's still in development and in the Admin section at that. I don't really know what I did to fix it, but it was redisplaying the same page every time, regardless of the Check for newer versions setting. I deleted all the cookies, rebooted and it then worked as expected. Weirdness. Thanks anyhow. -- Aidan Whitehall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental +44 (0)1695 51775 ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

I realise I could stuff all the form variables into a session structure, validate the entries and redirect to the form (if it failed), repopulating it. *But* that would take longer to code, I'm in a rush and the only people who would use this form are the application administrators (me and two other IT bods) so it's not something that needs to be, well, polished - just functional. The question *was* about the caching mechanism in IE6. -- Aidan Whitehall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental +44 (0)1695 51775 ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
