Do you get those when you are entering form information? That's the only time I get a dialog box that asks if I'm sure, but usually it's just for resubmitting POST data, and not just to refresh a page. Can you post a screen of the box that you get?

Sounds like it... I'm not sure that you can turn off that warning, because generally you don't want to resubmit POSTed forms with a properly designed web app.

Here is an example.......
Go to this webpage.>>
http://rogerebert.suntimes.com...fieds?category=search3

In the search tab type in Hancock.
Once that page opens up click the first Hancock link below Exact Matches.
Once that link opens up hit the back button on Safari , there you have it.

I think it is a poorly designed website.

If you repeat the same test on Amazon, IMDB, or Netflix (go to main page, type in 'hancock', click first link, let load, go back), then you will find that on those other websites, it works just fine.

Correct. They're apparently using POST when they should be using GET. POST should be used when you're taking some action, when data is going to change on the server side. GET should be used to retrieve information. Searches should use GET.

It sucks that there are poorly designed web apps out there, but the feature you're complaining about is intended to prevent you from doing something you might not want to do on a well-designed web app.

in designing web apps you invariably have to debug form validation/layouts etc...

this nag just illustrates disregard for developers. It should mosdef be a switch, it's just annoying and useless.
