[xsl] Weird XSL refresh problem in Explorer

I'm having the next weird problem with client side XSL transformation, using
Explorer 5. Can someone help me to understand it?

The situation is this: from a webpage in Explorer I first call up (via <A
HREF="customerdata.php?custid=12345">) a server side generated XML file,
which is sent subsequently to my browser together with the corresponding XSL
file. The browser displays the customer information nicely, thus so far so
good. But now comes the problem when I press for whatever reason the Refresh
button in the browser. I don't get the same results again???

My question is: what is going on here? Shouldn't the same action
"customerdata.php?custid=12345" be processed at the server? And shouldn't it
give the same browser result as before? At least that is what I would expect

But it is not what I get. I get in the browser a page as if the string
'custid=123' is not sent or not processed. At least that is my conclusion
(the server side script page using php is for reasons of robustness designed
such that if the string "?custid=123" is not sent, a nice white webpage is
shown stating the missing the customer id, and that's what I get
unfortunately).

Oeps !!!!!!!! What is going on here????????   Does somebody know what I can
do avoid this problem (for some good reasons I must stick to client side XSL
transformation), as users may also press the Refresh button?
