on my ipad, when using safari - if i have different tabs open, whenever i try to flick between them the one i want to look at automatically resubmits, therefore quite often returning to the homepage or login page... extremely annoying! any ideas? doesnt happen on any other of our apple devices...

Multitouch gestures enabled (or not enabled ) on this and not your other devices?

The iPad has limited RAM. When you have several tabs open, they're killed in order of least use in order to free up memory.. Although the tab is still there, the content it contains is gone. When you go back to it, the iPad has to reload the page from scratch.

Sloppy design and penny pinching on RAM in my opinion. Safari, as an Apple app, should be able to seize all the memory it wants to prevent exactly this.
