[Answered ]-How to skip interstitial in a django view if a user hits the back button?

How do you keep the interstitial page from entering the flow? Eliminate it.

I’m only recently wrapping my head around AJAX, so wish I could give you a more concrete answer, but the general approach is to use something like jQuery to replace the contents of the form <div> after submission with a “hey, I’m working here” indication and then a load of the new page when ready.

jQuery very kindly appends a unique, junk parameter to certain requests to explicitly thwart caching of volatile pages.
