IE 7 Back button problem

Hi,

I have an issue which is seems to be only IE 7 related (everything is working fine in IE6, FF and Opera). I have a page with a table of checkboxes, once checkbox is ticked JS changes style of the cell associated with clicked checkbox (say from "unselected" to "selected"). All is working fine until I leave the page and then click Back button. On 7 out of 10 times I get corrupted page: cells with un-ticked checkboxes have style of "selected" while ticked checkboxes appear in "unselected" cells, even more ticked checkboxes show up in places which were not ticked prior to leaving the page.
I have opened source of the page (using "View source" from right click menu) and source appears to be perfectly fine, i.e. styles and checkboxes are exactly the way they should be. So it appears that IE 7 somehow mis-renders the source from cache.
Please advise if there are workarounds for this problem, setting page expiration to 0 or adding "no-cache" is not an option for me. I need for page to be rendered to a valid previous state.
