Page loses data in fields

[mkyzar]

I have an application written in CF 4.5 that when a user enters data into a form and submits it with an error, a page is displayed listing the errors and what they must do to fix it. They are then instructed to go back by way of a button on the page to the previous screen to correct their errors. I have one user that when they do this loses everything they have typed onto the form and must start again from scratch entering their data. I don't know if this is a CF issue or not, but I've checked CF settings and browser settings and so far have come up with nothing as to why this is happening. It does not happen anywhere else. She is running IE6 on XP Pro. Any suggestions?

TIA for your help,

mkyzar

To Ecobb's credit in a prior post

This is a known issue, it is the default behavior of CF. It can be controlled with cfheader tags. Put this line of code in your application.cfm page and it will take care of the problem.

Hope This Helps!

Thanks so much for your response. Unfortunately, I tried that earlier and it did not work. Do you think there may be some setting somewhere that I've overlooked?

Thanks again,

<input type="button" onClick="history.go(-1)" value="HERE"> Like I mentioned before, it is only one user who is having this problem that's why I am not sure this is a CF issue.
