I'm not sure this is a server-side problem. I have noticed that some 
browsers sometimes forget the values of a form when going back. This is 
difficult to solve server-side, since clicking back in the browser never 
generates a request to the server.

In my browser (firefox), the fields are remembered.

I agree that it is a good idea to avoid javascript whenever possible.

I think you can use the ACCESSJS parameter in the SURVEY tag for including 
a script which runs on display of a page. (input is an url to a javascript 
file)
