Privacy prevent page from showing on back button

There will be a computer on display which users will write in their name, phone number, email and other information. We dont want users going back a page and grabbing ppls emails or other information.

How do i make it so when someone hits back the form no longer shows and a "sorry return to the first page" kind of thing. Theres a small chance there may be an agreement screen so hitting back and submitting another form and no seeing the screen may be trouble but i am not worried about that (or can say please put them on the same page).

I know its been asked but i havent seen any with this reason and the solutions i saw did not work (on firefox 3.6.10)

Could have the form displayed as a result of a POST call, meaning the browser won't cache it. Then, if another user hits back, the browser will ask if they want to resend the request, but even if they do, you display them a blank page.

A little web searching found this page: Clear Web Forms After Submit

Basically calls the reset() function on all forms on the <body> tag's onload and unload events.

Code from the link:

<html>
<head>
<title>A Self-Clearing Form</title>
<script>
function clearForms()
{
  var i;
  for (i = 0; (i < document.forms.length); i++) {
    document.forms[i].reset();
  }
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="clearForms()" onUnload="clearForms()">
<h1>A Self-Clearing Form</h1>
This form data will self-destruct when you leave the current web page.
<form method="post" action="page2.php" name="test">
<input name="field1"/> Field One
<p>
<input name="field2" type="radio" value="One"/>One
<input name="field2" type="radio" value="Two"/>Two

<input name="field2" type="radio" value="Three"/>Three
<input name="field2" type="radio" value="Four"/>Four
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Form Data"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

When the users enter information, save it and then send a redirect (through headers) to the page where users can enter their info.
