re: How do avoid IE alert

This alert popup appears because you've posted something and then you're refreshing the page. This will cause the form to be re-submitted. This may be unwanted, e.g. if you've just made a payment. To avoid this, use Post/Redirect/Get (PRG).

Hi All
Thanks for the reply Acoder. The link given was helpful.

i have solved the above problem, using the below code.

for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[i]); i++)
{

a.src=a.src;


}

Happy to be a member of this forum:-)

Glad you got it working, though it should be more of a server-side solution rather than using JavaScript to set the iframe src.

will it fail in any case?I am not aware of the impact of this solution i just tried it


Please Advise!

re: How do avoid IE alert

I'm not sure if it will cause a problem or not, just that I didn't have that in mind. If you look at the link(s), the solution is server-side, so after the post request is accepted, the page redirects using the location header to a different page using a GET request. I'm assuming the reason why your solution works is that you were posting to the same page rather than a different action page.
