PHP Form Mail retains filled page after sending, behind the "Thank You" page...

PHP Form Mail, on complete and send, opens the "Message Sent" Thank You page, but when click/swipe back, has also retained the just sent form, fully completed, requiring one to also click/swipe back though two pages to return to main site.

Note: This isn't a problem with receiving multiple mail receipts, but of clearing the initial form on receiving the completion notification page.

Mail delivery works as expected. (The following contact page accessed through the nav menu, not directly.

satgraphics.com  select "contact"

    Yes, it's true that the field clears; However, if you then try to return to the page from which the visitor came from, there will be behind the fully filled out form... just as it was when the submit button was clicked.

    Note content of initial query:

    In this case, the Thank you message is on the same page as your form.  It's not separate.  If you want a separate success/error page, you'll need to use a different script.

    I'm not sure why people would hit the BACK button after submitting a form.  Most people would close it.

    You can clear form input fields on submit with JavaScript.

    Nancy,

    I set an ID and inserted js, but still getting same results.

    Inserted at end of form... </form>

        <script>

    function myFunction() {

        document.getElementById("SatForm").reset();

    }

    </script>

    Clear your browser's  cache and try again.

    If I type something in the name field and hit SUBMIT, the placeholder text shows but the input value is gone.
