Clear form after submitted (Back button)

  • When submitting this form:https://www.rockcreekcorner.com/join-mailing-list/, users would then click the “Back” button and then try to submit another form.

    When they clicked the “Back” button, they would see the form with the most recent data still in the fields.

    Being concerned with our customers privacy of their name, birthdate, and email address (this is a restaurant and many different people use this form) – how can we get the form fields to clear completely after form submission? (even if someone clicks the “back” button)

    Thank you

  • Hey mowerb,

    Thanks for swinging by the support forum. When a subscriber uses the back button after submitting a signup form, the field data may be stored locally in the browser’s cache. Because the page isn’t refreshed, the fields can appear filled in. While there wouldn’t any setting in the MailChimp plugin to flush the data, it would be possible to either for the page to reload or use a custom form that automatically refreshes when submitted. For more information on this, check out this post from StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7649747/clear-form-on-back-button

    Thanks again for posting. Please feel free to contact us again with any other questions. Have a great day!

    Thank you for the info Gunter. Makes sense.
    We will consider the options. I’ve taken a look at the StackOverflow post as well. Helpful. Thanks.
