    Arrgh - IE Cache Bug

    Okay, this is driving me nuts..

    In IE visit http://www.hoseasons.co.uk/holidays/...fing_parks.asp

    click one of the links, click back, and IE seems to have eaten most of the page..

    I know it's some weirdy cache bug, as both clearing the cache and or a ctrl-f5 fixes it.

    I've inserted some code in the page, but that doesn't help either:

    Code:
    <% Response.CacheControl = "no-cache" %>
    <% Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache" %>
    <% Response.Expires = -1 %>
    I don't actually mind if the page gets cached or not, but I do mind that it screws the page up..

    Any ideas?

    Nope, back, as in the back button in the tool bar..


    Jonny: So the topic title "IE Cache Bug" wasn't obvious enough?

    I KNOW it's fine in Firefox, and I don't CARE that it works in Firefox as it's an Internet Explorer bug!

    Anyone else telling me it's fine in Firefox will have their reply deleted for being a nub..

    Just tried with back button in the toolbar and it still seems to work fine at my end.

    Do you want my exact version of IE to see ifs its just a specifig bug to one version of IE?

    Checked out here okay on 3 machines:
    XP SP2 - IE 6.0.2900.2180
    W2K3 SP1 - IE 7.x
    Vista - IE 7.x

    Jumped into a few brochures and clicked on the back button, main page was restored 100% every time.
    Even tried clicking back before the brochure page had loaded fully to see if I could recreate your issue.

    Is the problem specific to a user on the machine you are using to test?
    Try creating a brand new user with a clean profile and see if the same occurs, and check for any plugins that might be interfering perhaps?

    Version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.050301-1526 of Internet Explorer works fine.

    Are you looking at it via a work proxy ?
    Have you got any IE mods installed ?

    It's pretty much the same on every pc I've been able to get my hands on here..

    Direct access, no IE mods.

    Using v 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920

    I think it's also doing it on some sp2 machines.

    Edit: found a couple of sp2 machines: Better, but it will break if you click, go back, click, go back, and use the forward and back buttons a couple of times..

    I think it might be something to do with all the tables on the page and IE going a bit wonky..

    Stoo, I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy. I've reinstalled Vista 5270 and it is still there. I do have Office12 (pre-release) installed, but nothing else unusual.

    I went ahead and installed Firefox, which of course doesn't suffer from the same problem. I like IE7 and wish I could figure out the problem, so I would only need one browser.

    We decided to re-code the pages as it wasn't happenning on other pages, only the ones with losts of nested tables (yuck I know - but it was something we inherited ) .

    It's just certain builds of IE when it encounters certain types of code, so it's easier to just recode the pages to get around it.

    I have this problem mostly on various forums and Yahoo groups. It does seem to be an issue with table rendering. I do think the problem is with IE7, and not the code though, since the problem only manifests when hitting the back arrow or refresh -- rendering is always fine if a URL is entered in the address bar. To me this indicates an "IE cache bug" as you appropriately titled this thread.
