Hi, I've built a application that communicates with Coldfusion cfc functions via Remoting. I've noticed that the NetConnection object disconnects after each call, is this expected behaviour?

I've noticed some strange browser specific weirdness with Google Chrome with some data bound buttons, in that when you navigate away from the page then use the browsers back button the data bind displays different data.
