Very Computer

on some websites, when i click the back button on the
browser, instead of getting my previous page of search
results, i get the annoying message "warning: page has
expired ... etc"

i use internet explorer 6 and windows xp home.

i read the knowledge base which said that to fix the
problem i had to download and install internet explorer 6
service pack 1 (SP1). I have done this, but the problem
hasn't gone away.

can anyone please help!? thanks!

This is mostly on secure websites, and designed that way to protect you.

Scenerio:  You want to check your bank account, you log on to the page,
input your account numbers, paswords, etc.  You check your balances.  You
don't close the page, but instead surf to some other location(s).  You get
called away, and the machine is left on line.  The next person along clicks
the back button until he reaches  your log in page, and gets your account
number and password.  Next day your checks begin to bounce.

See why they do it that way?

Installing SP1  would not rewrite the security features of a page, so I
don't know why you were told it would help.

Just out of curiosity, why are  you asking an IE question in an OE group?

Sorry, ignore my last comment, I am not where I thought I was.  Hey, it
happens.  I had just switched from one newsgroup to another.  Again, sorry.

Yes I understand but I am not on secure sites when this
happens. i never had this problem with IE5/Win98. the
problem started when i got IE6/winXP, and it really slows
me down. I exoected the fix in the KB to work, but it
hasn't. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks.

Hi

Do you have an example of a site where this happens? Maybe the site is using
a frameset and for some reason is referencing an https in one of the frames?

For IE6 issues use: microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser

>no it happens on all sites where a form is submitted,

and none of the sites are secure sites, just normal
sites. it is a problem with IE6 which does not occur with
IE5, so it is not the fault of the sites but of IE6 with
winXP.
