hi all,
This is my first post in this forum. Found the site pretty
useful.
I have a link in a page, clicking on it takes to another page and
immediately changes the status of a variable. Now if i press the browser
back button the changes in the variable is not reflecting. The reason
being it takes the information form the browser cache. I expect the
latest updated status of the variable. Need help.

Firefox even keeps your form fields and changes made by javascript in the back-button cache and it''s touted as a feature. I''m not sure there is a way around this. Back button''s can be quite problematic for web apps. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Have no clue what to do... or i am thinking of removing the back button from my application. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

In IE , iam using apache2.2.3 and it sends http1.1 response. Rails by default sets the the Cache-Control to "no-cache" so it should always fetch the fresh page.(make sure that u bypass proxy, if used.) In FF, u need to set "no-store" in Cache-Control so u will get the fresh page (do not worry about proxy here) 1) The best way is to set these http response headers in .htaccess files under public folder in your rails application. Header set Cache-Control "no-store, no-cache". 2) The other way is to set in every response you send from the code using the interfaces available to set the http headers in rails. I will suggest the first one. HTTP 1.1 is intelligent that HTTP1.0 in caching mechanism.
