    Default form resubmission warnings

    Okay folks, here's the situation:

    I have a multi-step process where a user inputs info, uploads images, edits the images, more info, etc. etc....

    If the user clicks the [Back] button, I have a problem. (No, the info is not processed twice; I account for duplicate submissions server-side.) The problem is that modern browsers all issue a warning that the user is about to re-submit a form. The situation ranges from cryptic (IE) to completely unworkable (Chrome), but in all cases, Ugly.

    anyone tackled this issue before?
