I use JavaScript in HTML form to disable Submit button while submitting form. In next page user get result of submitted form and he/she can click Back button in browser to submit another form. The problem is in FireFox, when user return to form using Back button he/she get disabled submit button from previous submit.
Also all data in form remain from previous fill.
Any suggestion how to clear state in form? In IE everything works fine, clear form on Back button.

Try placing the script at the bottom of the page rather than triggering it with onload.
The same problem, FireFox do not trigger any event or JS when back button is pressed.
load page with javascript location object
i.e
write this code for back button.
window.location.href="http://domain name.com/filename.ext";
i think this will do the need for u
Could you explain where to put this code? What is the event for back button?
It is definately the onload handler clearing the form as, without it, the previous data is still in the input box.

anyhow, it may be the answer to your problem.
