losing JavaScript values on Back Button

[natty]

hi all,

im having problems with back buttoning and losing values.
i fill selectes dynamically (js), and submit the page. if i then back button to that page, none of the selects remain filled.
why is this?
is it a browser setting? doctype setting? a server setting?
any help, as always much appreciated

thanks

Because, like your title says, any JavaScript values are lost/reset when the page is unloaded.

The js can get re-executed in alot of browsers.

But I think natty is talking about fills that depend on variables set during the session, in which case those variables will have lost their value on back-click...
