I am having problems with the back button on my asp pages.

I need to press the Back button twice to get the page or Back followed by Refresh.

For some pages back doesnt work at all.eg. I have page A and I go to page B using "get" method. Now if I hit Back button from page B it does not return to page A and reloads page B.

I have used the following code at the beginning of each of the .asp page to prevent caching.

'The following three lines of code are used to ensure that this page is not cached on the client.
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache"
Response.Expires = -1

What happens when you take out the cache coding?

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

it works fine then...but i want to use the cache code to prevent caching, else it gives problems like not refreshing the page and displaying the page accessed last time.
