Is there an easy way to clear/refresh a form after the SUBMIT button is pressed ??
I don't want the client using their Browser Back button and seeing a previously filled in form.
I want them to start with a blank form.
Thank you

where are you displaying the form?
(IE manually exporting to a webpage, or publishing to Sdrive)
where are you sending the people to when they hit the send button? (IE to a custom confirmation page ot just displaying the default confirmation page?

Sorry i should have mention those details,
I am manually exporting the form and using the default confirmation page with the following change:
<FORM><INPUT Type="button" VALUE=" Go Back" onClick="history.go(-1);return true;">

Yes there is a way.
Here's one way. Put this code in an HTML Element at the top of your form within the Form Builder.
<script>window.addEventListener( "pageshow", function ( event ) {
var historyTraversal = event.persisted ||
( typeof window.performance != "undefined" &&
window.performance.navigation.type === 2 );
if ( historyTraversal ) {
window.location.reload();
}
});</script>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Success as always Eric,

The issue was only with Safari all the other browsers would refresh the form using the go back code
in my form confirmation page.
Your script fixes the Safari problem beautifully.

Thanks again.
