Wonder if anyone has seen anything like this on any page:

<
Data Missing

This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the cache. If you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document by pressing the reload button.
>

It crops up if I try to print the page in question or to go back a page.


Any other browser (IE, Opera, Netscape 6) works. The pages in question are set to expire at 1.1.1970 at 01.00.01.
This, according to my bank, is to ensure correct updates of the pages, so that I don't get bank statements from the cache. The bank seems slightly at a loss as to why this happens. The pages are secured with SSL 128-bit cyphers.

While I don't mind changing browsers now and then, I wonder what the reason is?

one of the reason for this error is that the page got loaded from the bank server dynamically. if at some point you press the back button, etc, it is gone because like the bank said, they want to make sure you don't get anything from the cache. so to get the page to display again, you will need to reload the page or repeat the steps to get to that page. (so the browser will re-request the page again).

as far as printing the page... i'm not sure how that will work.. :( this is really a headache...
