I am in situvation where i could not change any of my get to post method, with out changing get to post, is there any way to avoid this alert.

[Revathi Balakrishnan]

sorry i could not change post to get.

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.getEle mentsByTagName( "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.

oh...what's wrong with this solution?

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

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.

Thank you for the Advise :)
