Fill out a form, submit, and then click the back arrow. The form variables may
either be missing entirely or may take on a different value from the default or
what was selected.
Not all forms do this. It seems to be due to an odd interaction between <FORM>,
<TABLE>, and <HIDDEN> tags. In particular, if there is both a <FORM> and
<HIDDEN> tag between a <TABLE> tag and the table's first <TH> or <TD> tag, then
the back button won't work.
Bad HTML is certainly to blame. "But IE works..." >:)
I've put example scripts at http://beeline.org/test1.cgi
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a radio button on a form
2. Click submit
3. Click the back button
Actual Results:
No radio button is selected, not even the default.
Expected Results:
The radio button you had last selected should still be selected.
Seems like it might be related to bug 157145
Affects Mozilla 1.6, Firefox 0.92, Firefox 0.8

The problem is the rather malformed HTML (in particular, the totally invalid
<form> and first <input> tag)... we have existing bugs on the issue...
