Data Missing on Returning To ASP page using Netscape:

Author	Message
jnperci.. #1 / 3	Data Missing on Returning To ASP page using Netscape: I've developed a "VB6 IIS application" which is an ASP application that calls a VB6 DLL and uses web classes. It works like I want and expect using an IE browser. However, using a Netscape browser, I have problems if I leave an ASP page (say a form with user filled in fields) and go Back to the page or even if I try to Print the page. If I go Back, all the user entered data is wiped out. If I try printing the page, even without ever having left the page, it just says or prints out "Data Missing". I assume that there is some Meta key word that controls whether a page will be "Refreshed" when I go Back to it or Printing it and IE has the default I want and Netscape doesn't. What HTML do I have to add to have Netscape act like IE for these situations? (Note: I've changed all the refresh/cache options for the Netscape browser and it does not help.)

cube.. #2 / 3	Data Missing on Returning To ASP page using Netscape: I have the exact same problem with asp and a VB6 DLL. I added a pragma meta tag with "CACHE" instead of "NO-CACHE" and I didn't have this problem. I assume this isn't a good fix because then the data is still on the proxy. There is probably a better way that I don't know about. I have scoured the internet for answers with no luck. - cubegal Quote: > I've developed a "VB6 IIS application" which is an ASP > application that calls a VB6 DLL and uses web classes.

Olof #3 / 3	Data Missing on Returning To ASP page using Netscape: Hi, The problem is that the WebClass designer adds the line "Response.Expires=0" to the ASP file that it creates, which tells the browser that the form is invalid as soon as it is displayed. This cannot be overridden in the app either, since it is the lowest value set to Response.Expires that takes effect, rather than the latest value as you might have assumed. AFAIK, you can deal with this in two ways: 1) Curse a few times over how incredibly stupid Netscape is in this respect and quietly accept your fate. 2) Manually change the value of Response.Expires in the ASP file. Note, however, that you must remember to do this every time that you recompile your app. Also carefully consider what other implications this may have on the behaviour of your app. See also MSDN article Q214539 (although I don't see how their advice to change the expiration date "in a WebItem in your WebClass" could possibly work...)
