As long as I'm not going backwards through the browser history, everything is fine, but the browser caching really needs to be stopped, not just for this, but for other programming associated with the site which hasn't been done yet. I'm not at home now, so I can't take a look at the headers, but I'm guessing I will need to insert my own headers for no-cache.
In my procedural version of my site, as well as my Kohana version, this caching doesn't happen. Maybe I just need to clear the cache... I'll have to check it out tonight when I get home from work.
Thanks Dam1an. You're always quick to respond!
