Hi all

I'm having frequent refreshes and each time it asks me to 'Resend the information' and i have to click Retry. How can i refresh without it asking ??

Thanks
Nick
 
Hi mate,

If you are posting data to this page, you can't change that.

The message is for security toalert you that the data will be resent to the server.

Hope this helps

You could look into using the GET method instead of the POST method for your initial form submit... but this is something that really depends on the data being submitted.

The GET method will append the field names and data values to the URL (so messes up your nice URL)... and there are limits to the length of this URL in different browsers. Not to mention you would have to escape the data (if it was something users could enter).

Just an idea.

As wullie mentions, it's a security warning (and whilst inconvenient for web developers, it's really important for the rest of the world).
