Retry or Cancel

I have recently started working on WinXP Pro & use IE6.0 as the default
browser.

Usually when a page is refreshed after a Form gets submitted in IE, IE
displays a pop-up dialog with 2 buttons - Retry & Cancel with the
following message:

--------------------
The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information.
Click Retry to send the information again, or click Cancel to return to
the page that you were trying to view.
--------------------

Now what I find is if I refresh a page after a Form residing in this
page gets submitted & click the Retry button, then, as expected, the
page gets refreshed but if I click the Cancel button, strangely, IE
displays the 'The page cannot be displayed" page & the URL in the
address bar changes to res://ieframe.dll/repost.htm.

What's causing this? Is this an inherent behavior of IE6.0 in WinXP
Pro?

As already said, I have recently started using WinXP & prior to that, I
used to work on Win2K Pro (with IE6.0 as the default browser) but never
have I seen IE behaving in this manner in Win2K!

In Win2K, when the Cancel button in such a pop-up dialog is clicked, IE
does display some message (I can't recollect the exact message) but it
doesn't show the "The page cannot be displayed" page. Moreover, under
such circumstances, the URL in the address bar doesn't change to
something else; it remains the same as what it was before the page was
refreshed.
 
ADDENDUM

Forgot to add that the same thing happens when I click the Back button
in IE after a Form is submitted i.e. IE displays the "The page cannot
be displayed" page & the URL in the address bar changes to
res://ieframe.dll/repost.htm when the Back button in IE is clicked
after submitting a Form.
 
Same thing happens to me. It started happening after I uninstalled
the bloated IE7 and reverted back to IE6. It happens when I submit a
form, or perform a search on forums (same as form submission).
