I'd like to know how to stop this! On many sites when using Safari and I want to go back to a previous page, and I click the Back arrow, I get this drop down msg asking if I want to send a form again. I click yes and I get the same !@#$ msg again! Is there a way to turn that off? Why does it do that anyway? Really, if I want to go back, I want to go back!

Thanks,
Funkynassau

Try just clicking it once, don't hold the mouse button down - holding the button for about a second is what activates the history list thingie.

Ok I'll try that, thanks.

Sorry to say that doesnt solve this irritating issue.

The "previous" page was one that was generated by submitting a form (like, say, posting on a forum or submitting some information). To display the page correctly, the script probably needs to have the same input, so Safari asks you if it wants to resubmit the information..

How to stop it? I don'T know, I don't use Safari...

Not sure that is just a Safari thing. Try going to the same pages with another browser and see what happens.

Oh whoops, I misread your post and my response was, like, FAIL.

I don't get that drop-down often but it can be annoying, some sites seem more so than others. Usually when I get the drop-down I just quit and return to the site without trying to use the back button.

I got it repeatedly on several real estate sites I was looking at. I wasnt typing anything in, just reading and then going backwards to find another listing to read.

I cant go backwards without clicking "send" each time til it was happy.

Some sites use buttons/links as forms that submit data to the next page, so it's not always a form where you have to fill in data...

I dont have to fill anything in, just click til it goes back a page.

Can this be stopped somehow?
