Insanely annoying MSIE bug; breaking back button for no good reason

MSIE is acting weird (big surprise, eh?).

I have a form. User inputs crappy data and submits. User gets error
messages. User presses back. Back page is same as current page. It
refuses the user to go back to the form, and instead shows the error
all the time.

This does NOT happen in Opera or Firefox (of course). Why the hell is
MSIE doing this?

Example URL: http://www.byten.se/ny (just submit the form once and try
to go back).

Any ideas?

Since nobody is probably going to come up with something better, I'll
tell you what I did. An ugly hack.

I made the form submit to "/ny/post", which I rewrite internally to /ny
(the same page). This fixed the MSIE bug.

God I hate that browser...

Gosh - that was a smart move - so why use IE?????

You tell me. Ignorance?

Obviously, I am not the one using MSIE. Most people are stupid and use
that browser (sadly). I try to promote Opera whenever possible (on that
site, for instance), but nothing helps.
