IE warning "Page has expired"

4 New Member
Hi all,
I am getting a problem of Page expiration in IE .I have searched a lot on web.I got many results but not able to resolve my problem.

I have a a form where i will write a article.I will specify its contents and title ans category and subcategory.By clicking on upload button i go to the page (page2.php) where i can upload the images for articles.I have a return button on click of which i come to previous page (page1.php)

On this page i have save button and cancel button.Clicking on save i go to the page (page3.php) from which i came to this page.Now when i click browser back button it must go to the page1.php.But its showing warning :"Page has expired".

What is that thing its not getting on browser back button click?But getting on refreshing the page?I have used POST method in Form.

What can be the solution for this?

The problem is that when you submit the form (using POST) IE wont let you view that page again because it doesn't want to submit the data again.

This is kind of a good idea, because if you've submitted a form with your credit card details to buy something then you wouldn't want to submit it again when using your back button cos you'd end up buying it twice.

Firefox will ask you if you want to submit it again. But a lot of people still use IE (and should therefore be shot). So I reckon the best solution is to have the script that processes the submitted form redirect the user to another page. That way, when the user uses their back button they will go back to the page they were redirected to, and there'll be no danger of submitting the form twice.

Hi. I am trying to disable a user from going back to a previous page and displaying information previously shown. I want to give them the typical "Page has Expired" warning message. I am using Win Server 2003. Does anyone know what you have to do so that the user can only see the page once and not to be able to click back and see a cached page. Thanks! Ed

Hi there Sometimes, when I hit the <Back> button in the browser, instead of going to the previous .aspx page I get an error screen and "Warning: Page Expired". (This is a "regular" error page rather than generated by the .NET compiler.) How can I change the settings so that the page never expires, or else expires only after a long time? Best regards Loane

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
