Form Values retained on Back Button

I have a form that I have built, and when a user hits the back button.. all of the form values disappear. As most of you get, this is a quite annoying thing.. Anyone have any ideas how I can prevent this from happening?

The form lives at: I have tried echoing the $_POST[] var in each field, but this doesn't work.

Any ideas on what I can do to prevent this from happening?


edit: fixed url..

I did a little bit of digging and found the response headers that the server is sending:

200 OK

The Cache-Control and Pragma issues bother me a bit... would that have any affect on my form's ability to retain the values???
