I have a dynamic site in PHP, where post data is often used. in some pages i have a back button that only does
       onclick=\"javascript:window.history.go(-1)\"> The only problem is that if the person do that on a window that had just received post data, the user gets a dialog that says "The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information. Click Retry to send the information again, or click Cancel to return to the page that you were trying to view." This is no good. Is there anyway I can automatically force a resend of the information, or is there another javascript way of doing what I am trying to do?


...If you are not sure don't mind to ask before you screw it!!

No, it isn't possible to circumvent the browser's POST data dialogue. You can try submitting your data via the GET method instead, or perhaps using JavaScript and XMLHttpRequest, in either of those cases you wouldn't see the POST data dialogue.

I haven't tried this yet, so someone please correct me if you find out it doesn't work.

Let's say you have index.php with a form on it. What if you make this form submit to a different script, say index2.php. Then after you handle the submitted info in index2.php, you redirect back to index.php using headers. That way when you refresh index.php, you are not reloading a page that you submitted data to.

Just a thought, let me know if it works (or doesn't).

try this

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="15; url=http://xyz.com/second.html">

if prob persists try to make a javascript function that cheks to save the data
