Backtracking

I am wondering about setPageRefreshOnBacktrackEnabled. Does the behavior of the refreshing actually depend on the browser?

I increment a counter variable in appendToResponse and display it in the page. It does not get incremented when backtracking, indicating that appendToResponse is not being called. This is in deployment. I seem to remember someone mentioning that it behaves differently in development.

I tested with Safari, Internet Explorer, and Netscape, all on a Mac. Out of the three, Safari and IE backtracked quietly, displaying the old value for the counter, and Netscape asked if I wanted to post the data again because the page expired. After Netscape posting the data, the counter was incremented and displayed as such.

The situation I am in is that after a store checkout is final I don't want the user to backtrack back into the various checkout pages. I thought I could do this by returning a redirect for those pages after the checkout is final, but appendToResponse isn't even getting called except for Netscape. I thought about terminating the session after the final checkout, but that doesn't help the browser caching behavior I am seeing, and leads to a session timeout error if the browser is refreshed.

Any ideas on fixing my backtracking issue?

Thanks,
Ron Wagner
