Blank fields in forms after clicking back

Hello everybody,

One more time, please apologize my english.

I’m developping a snippet containing a form.


When I ‘m testing it with firefox and fill the form everything is ok (datas are transmitted) the matter is that if I click on back button in browser the form fields are empty.(what should not be)

If I’m trying the same thing with safari, clicking back, the form contains as expected the values entered.

Anybody has an idea wherhe this issue come form

Thx for your help.

This is a browser issue from what I can remember in that certain browsers remember formdata entered on a pervious page and others don’t. Try the SessionSaver extension for Firefox and see if that fixs things.

thx for answering.

The point is that if i’m trying the code I’ve written for the snippet as a standalone php script, the variables are still there after clicking the back button.

That’s why I suppose the matter is linked to modx.

Whatever I’m gonna try your proposal.

thx

Hi everybody,

Back in english area and still have not found a way to fix the issue.

I’ve updated the subject because the matter is not relative to firefox but any browser tested (PC/MAC: firefox 1.5,  IE 6.0, Camino 1.0 mac only) except safari.

You can see by yourself by going there --> h**p://www.az-traduction.fr/traduction-en-ligne/Commandez-une-traduction.html
Fill the form validate and click back -> no more datas the page is reloaded.

Then go there --> h***p://www.az-traduction.fr/commander-traduction/commande-traduction.php
This the same script but outside modx
Fill the form validate and click back -> datas are still here as usual

Any help appreciated

P.S: Does anybody have an example of a modx based website with a form in which you still have the datas after clicking back ???

Thanks to guillaume in franch forum who gave me a clue to detect a potential origin of the issue.

Bravo guillaume, 

the trouble seems tobe relative to the HTTP HEADER sent back by the server and MODx

When I’m looking at the "response header" with firefox web developper toolbar


My snippet send back:
--> h**p://www.az-traduction.fr/traduction-en-ligne/Commandez-une-traduction.html

HTTP HEADER sent back outside MODx when the script is executed:
h**p://www.az-traduction.fr/commander-traduction/commande-traduction.php

Je guess the issue comes from this line :

Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0

Is there a way to change the header sent back by MODx and  will this change affect MODx


Thx for your help

And the

Pragma: no-cache
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=84

Thx for your answer but how could I change these values???

I don’t find in MODx Code where to define these values
