I'm not good with ASP, but there are some good ASP people here, someone may have a solution for you.

we run a site that uses ASP scripts to search and display data from our database. The results pages are set to expire immediately as we found that if they didnt, the search results never changed no matter what your search criteria were (ie, the browser simply displayed the cached page), however on Netscape browsers if you drill down from the results page, then press the back button , you get the message "Page resulted from a post operation and has expired, data is missing", on other browsers, it simply redisplays your results screen (desired effect). Does anyone know how to get round the infuriating NEtscape cache problems ?
