How do I remove the display of popup on hitting the back button of the browser

[cmrhema]

Hi,


I have two questions

a)

I have a registration page which on successfull registration throws an popup alert

ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "strJsMessage", "<script language='javascript'>alert('Registered Successfully!');window.document.forms[0].action='index.aspx';window.document.forms[0].submit();</script>");

The popup works fine, and on successfull registration redirects to another page. But when I hit the back button on IE browser, I once again see the popup window which is not visible in Mozilla browser.


Can anyone kindly let me know how to make this popup disappear when it comes to hitting the back button in IE browser

b) I have used required field validator controls and a validation summary which pops up the message about all the required fields that are missing on clicking of the button.

The problem is it shows the summary only but when i chooose the messagebox option as true, it does not popup the message. but when i choose the show summary option it shows.

Any idea.

Regards
cmrhema

i don't know what is your implementation of that, but i think you have to do some checking statement of your page_load event, to check is it load by post(summit), or just page_load only.

Its ok Danielc, I resolved the issue but disabling the back browser button.

It is not a good idea to disable the back button of the persons browser.
If the person were to leave your page you will have disabled their back button and they will not be able to use it during normal browsing.

I'd use a hidden field to store a boolean that indicates whether or not to display the pop up. This value will be cached and so when the cached version of the page is displayed you can still determine whether or not to display the popup.
