Form data lost when using back and forward web browser buttons

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      I composed a somewhat lengthy, detailed message about Fisheye performance issues, including solutions.

      Then a stray touch on my touch pad led to Firefox navigating to the previous screen, when I was about to find the Create button!

      Attempting to return forward to the message I was entering failed, because Firefox informed me that the page was the result of a POST, and did I want to resubmit?

      Well, resubmitting causes the previous form content to go away! And not resubmitting doesn't get you back to it, either.

      When a POST takes you to a form, it should do so by first doing a redirect to a GET that serves up the form. Otherwise, you'll get exactly what I got!

      It seems like an extraneous round-trip with the browser, but it's really not. It's important for usability.
