A button with a history.back() action in a page after a form submit action, will try to resend the page. The Back button on the browser (correctly) shows the previous page with the form. This is different from the behavior in MS IE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make a form with an accept page in the action 2.Show a page with a button with the history.back() action as the next page 3.See the difference between this button and the Back button of the browser Actual Results: The history.back() action does not display the previous page, but the browser back button does Expected Results: Same behavior of history.back() action and browser back button. That is the previous page should be displayed.
