Just got my first imac and have a question. When I try to go back to a previous page, I get the following message and have to click cancel or OK/SEND, in fact it pops up twice each time;


"Are you sure you want to send a form again?"



It's very annoying, any way to stop it?

It only does it when you have submitted a form on the previous page - like placing an order, add to shopping cart, etc.

Although I don't do it that often, I do it often enough also, and you're right... it is extremely annoying - especially the TWICE part of it.

I don't know how to turn it off either, so anyone else?

I don't know of a way to turn it off and can't find anything from some quick research. All I have seen is equally frustrated people and no solutions. It looks as if you're stuck with it. The solutions I have seen include using other browsers mostly (not very helpful).

It is a security feature and as such, it probably won't be going anywhere. You might just have to bear through this one.
