window.location.reload() with Mozilla & IE

[Mike Gifford]

Hello,

I'm right now using
window.location .reload()

to refresh the browser. It behaves as I would want in Mozilla/Netscape,
but not in IE.

I want to refresh a form, but keep the cached content as it has been
filled out be the user.

This works fine in Mozilla (keeping modified data), but just reloads the whole page (fields &
all) from the server in IE.

How do I get IE to preserve the data in the form, just pull down
everything else?

Thanks!

Mike

Try
window.location .reload(false);

False is supposed to be the default value... so it should have worked
the way you coded it.
You may need to search google for tutorial, articles on cache. Best is
to start searching this newsgroup archives as I'm sure this was
discussed before.
