on ie, how to catch the retry button when refreshing

[Keendev]

Hi,

I have a script in a button that when pressed will refresh the page. The only thing is on I.E (or other browsers), is everytime page will perform refresh/reload it will give an alert message first, and informs and asks for users to click Retry or Cancel to continue or not.

How can I skip the alert message or catch the message to replace it with customize message from the web application??

Can I have your ideas or inputs, and advice about this?

Thanks in advance.

The answer is simple: don't refresh the page after posting form data.

If you need to do so, first perform a redirect so the data is not in danger of being resubmitted.

Hope this helps,

P.S. You'd probably do the redirect server-side, so should ask in the forum for whatever server-side language you are using (ASP, JSP, PHP, GSP, etc).
