I've got a script on my site. Consists of an input form that generates some results through a sequence of pages.

When a user hits their back key to return to the input form to change a variable and rerun the script, we're getting a 'page expired, refresh the postdata' kind of message. And the input data is then wiped by the time you return to the original form.

Is there any way to change the length of time before the page expires? I'd like my users to be able to hit 'back' and scroll back through the dynamically generated pages to the input form.

It might be the difference between POSTing and GETting the data between pages, but without more details I am not sure. Either way though they will get an error message, one will be a dialogue box and the other will be on the page. I think it is a security issue.

You could always disable the back button; ouch! Sorry, I just slapped myself for suggesting that.

Nope, want them to use the back button. Just don't want them to refetch the page I guess.
