Odd back button behavior in a multi-frame environment

This is more a browser quirk than a Tomcat issue, but is Tomcat-involved. 
Probably due to the headers being set on your frameset page, IE will reload it
when loaded from a server, but not from disk.  When the frameset page is
reloaded, it contains the pointers to your original docA and docB, so they'll be
loaded.

IE errs on the side of reload in many cases, esp. if there are Cookie, Pragma,
or CacheControl headers.

This isn't a Tomcat problem.  You may investigate setting headers (like
"Expires") to trick IE into not reloading the frameset page, but I'd recommend
writing your site to encourage people not to use "Back".  Provide good
navigation within your pages.

I'm not closing this, because I'm really not a Tomcat developer.  But I'm trying
to be helpful.
