| if you reply to a post or create a new topic within the specified flood control time (60 seconds), you get a message about the flood control and a "click here to correct the problem" link. The link takes you pack to the message you were typing but you are unable to re-submit the post because the submit button is disabled.< |

I've not run into that problem... (and I have run into the flood control message)
Have you been able to consistently reproduce it?< |

yes consistently. When you press the "submit" button some javascript code disables the button. then, after the flood control warning message appears you can click on the "back" link and the button is still disabled.
it probably won't happen if you have JS turned off in the first place. did it not happen to you in the test forum?< |

it hasn't happened to me here or any other Snitz forum. I have JS enabled too. Though, I didn't hit the "Back" button on the browser, I used the link provided on the page. I wonder if that would make a difference....
I guess I should add that I'm using IE6/Maxthon.< |

| OK after a bit more testing. The submit button is disabled in FIREFOX after clicking the back link, but works properly in IE. I suppose this is a browser issue rather than a snitz issue?< |

I'd suspect so at first glance. I'll have to investigate further at home since all my work is internal and all that's installed is IE.
Which version of Fire Fox are you using?< |

FF version 1.5.02
win xp pro, sp2
zone alarm pro 6.1.774.001
this issue must have cropped up on other websites/forums, i wonder if anyone found a way to get round the issue.< |

Most of the people here are probably the Admin. on their respective forums and therefore never see the flood control page. And, more likely than not (but not always), the people getting the flood control message don't want attention drawn to why they are getting the flood control messages - even if its a legitimate reason.
The small number of times I've gotten them here is when I've run into a handful of threads in a row that I can read and respond to quickly. (Sadly, that doesn't happen too often.)< |

Hmmm. Interesting discussion. I wonder if thats an "issue" with FF, or if its an "undocumented behavior" of IE. Or maybe nothing works the way its supposed to... 
I'll look at it again when I get home tonight.< |

| the fix for FF posted on experts exchange doesn't work. when you browse back to the previous page the submit button is still disabled. it must pull the page entirely from cache and not fire the "body onload" event. I have not tried this on snitz but a different webapp of mine. perhaps an admin with a speciality in browser compatability and JS can investigate this further.< |

::sigh:: Finally got a chance to try it with FF at home and found the same thing. If you refresh the page everything works fine. I didn't lose the text I had attempted to post when I refreshed, but its probably a good idea to copy it just in case...  < |

Maybe a no-store meta tag would help but then you'd probably lose whatever is was you typed.
I'd say this is a problem with Firefox rather than Snitz. Maybe you could put a "click here to go back, don't press the browser back button" kind of message, chumbawumba?< |

| unlikely since it would appear to be a problem peculiar to FF, it works fine in ALL other browsers< |
