267287 - input text boxes fail to repopulate with historic values when xhtml+xml

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 206695

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Alistair Potts]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

Hitting the back button to return to a cached version of a page with forms
retains the form values when text/html, but not when application/xhtml+xml. No
other changes are necessary.

I believe this is expected behaviour from the browser, and means I cannot serve
my pages as xhtml. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create any XHTML page with form values, serve as xhtml+xml
2. POST to new page
3. Hit back button - values are gone
4. Try the same, but serve as text/html

Actual Results:  
Form values are blank

Expected Results:  
Form values should be retained
