Internet Explorer alert on resending information

[Guest]

Hello All,

Can anyone let me know why do we generally see a message which says: "IE
needs to resend the info you've previously submitted. Retry Cancel"

How can I prevent IE from showing this message? I am using javascript code
i.e., window.location.reload(true) to reload an existing web form.

Thanks for any pointers!!

This happens when form data has been submitted. In order to truly refresh
the page, the form data must be resubmitted. Since this may be undesirable
in some cases, that message is displayed to give the user the opportunity to
abort.

So to avoid this message, don't resubmit the data. A line of JavaScript
similar this should refresh the page without reposting the data:
window.location = window.location;
