[thelist] refreshing form in firefox doesn't revert to defaul t form values

[Johnson, Christopher (MTO)]

In FireFox, when you hit the refresh button, it tends to grab the page and
any associated values from the cache. A quick way of turning this off is to
press shift + the refresh button. This will force firefox to refresh the
page by getting it off the server.

I am sure there are ways to change this behaviour in the permanently, but
this always works for me and gives me the option.

For most people I'm sure this feature is helpful, but when I'm trying to 
develop a web application it's not - here's what I mean:
- I have a form, some fields have default values, some do not
- I go to the form, fill in some fields, realize I need to make a change 
to the HTML
- I make the change, save the (in this case) .cfm file, and refresh the 
form in my browser
- the fields I've filled in are still filled in, despite the refresh - 
this means clicking 'back' and redoing whatever action I took to get to 
the form (clicking a link, submitting "step 1" of a multi-step form, 
whatever)
