Firefox force refresh upon back button

[Sonny Forelli]

I have a page that I'm using javascript to add some fancy 'submitting/processing' type illusions to that's in a path.

I want the user to be able to hit the back button of their browser and end up 'back' on their page.

Currently when they do this all the content is hidden as a result of the input onclick javascript that I have firing with the 'continue' button press to simulate communication between systems.

I know this is a firefox issue- is there an acceptable workaround? I've tried the meta cache-control and pragma/expires stuff to no avail.

Thanks

You'll need to tap into the history of the browser. I haven't worked with this myself, but here's some articles which can give you some ideas/answers.
