one of the customer service people here just pointed out something of a horror problem (a week before go-live, yay).
IE5 appears to have a client-side cache of form entry values - so if someone returns to a page, they get a drop-box of previously entered values for this form field - this occurs even on a form accessed by https. To say that I'm somewhat unimpressed by this utter misfeature is something of an understatement. Imagine a kiosk setup, with a registration screen prompting for (amongst other things) a credit card number. Gee, let's use one someone entered earlier - pull down a little scrolly box.
But can be switched off.... I think you can even check wether or not the setting is on, and refuse to serve that browser or something =). I personally find the feater very handy, specially when experimenting with ZClasses. Lots of textbox typing is saved with it. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-6254545 Fax: +31-35-6254555 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
