Hi,

I am making this website. When I hit the "IE" back buton i get page expire page. it does not happen on all te pages. It just happens when hit the back buton to get to the search result page .

Thanks
 
so? what's the problem? you need it cached?
may be you have a <meta with "no-cache" or something like that...
 
I thing you are right. On NS i get this window poping up saying "Post data that has expired from cache"

What do i need to do in meta tags?

If you do a search


from search results page
pick any product and go to product detail page, and then hit
back button to go back to search results ...search result page will expire
 
try erasing this line
Code:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

or replace it with:

Code:
<!--meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"-->
 
AFAIK this is how browsers behave. When you have page that was posted (variables have been sent to it using post method), the variables will need to be reposted every time you refresh or go back or forward to that page. It's not really such a nuissance, IMHO.
 
I commented that meta tags but still it expires. but I know some sites where they do post variables but still when you hit the back button it does not expire...
 
I don't how to take care of this problem.

I post form with variables form Page A to B , then I go from page B to C. But then using browser back button when I go back to page B, page B expires.

I don't know how people take care of this problem..

Thanks
