how reloadPage attribute works on a page?

Hi all,

I´m have a problem on my application, i insert some data in two inputs, and when i go to another page and return to previous page the inputs is clear, the change between pages is made for example by <a href="page.jsp"> tag. Studing the page attributes, i suspected if the reloadPage attribute it´s involved with my question, but the default value for this attribute is false, in teory the page already exists in DOM and don´t will be created again.. then, why when i return the page the values is not there?

thanks a lot!
