CGI App with IE Browser Conflict

[jtrapat1]

I'm using C Programming with CGI on linux redhat.
We have written an intranet application which uses IE6.
We have a problem when the user uses the buttons from the browser toolbar.
Our page submits when the user loads the page, hits refresh, or hits the
submit button on the page.
However, when the user hits the back button from the IE toolbar, the state of
the page is kept but the user is now on a different page.
We found a way around this for now - to open the window in a new browser
window and remove the IE Toolbars.
Are there any other options for eliminating this conflict?

I apologize if I didn't explain this very well.

Thanks in Advance
John

I am frankly confused.

It sounds to me like you're trying to have a page which inputs data to the CGI when you load the page -- and that your solution was to have a page containing a form, and some kind of client-side code to submit the form when the page is loaded. Right?

And that after the page submits, when you hit the back button, the history in IE takes you to a page other than the one which should automagicially submit data. Right? ______________________________________________________________________
TANSTAAFL!

Yes,
That's exactly right.
