Hi I need to know if there is any code that can be used to get rid of the refresh and retry when using the back button in internet explorer. Every time i get info from the database and display the result, and i use the back button it says Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your information for you. To resubmit your information and view this Web page, click the Refresh button. and the when you refresh it says: The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information. Click retry to send the information again, or click cancel to return to the page that you were trying to view. This is very irritating. Can someone tell me how to resend the info automatically, please!!!!!!!!

Use GET method instead of POST, but only in forms that don't change state on the server (i.e. search). Use POST method only for forms that for example insert new entry in the db. And you should redirect right after making the action, so the posted page does not stay in the browser's history. HTH
